10.2
Enabling IPv6 Support for AP Configuration
APs support IPv6 address mode for the following features:
● Supported IP modes
● Configuring IPv6 Address for an AP
● RADIUS over IPv6
● SNMP Over IPv6
● SNTP Over IPv6
Supported IP modes
SCALANCE W supports two modes of IP address configuration:
● V4-only—The AP would allow IPv6 clients to pass-through just like the previous
SCALANCE W release.
● V4-prefer—Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If the AP gets both IPv4 and IPv6
responses for a DNS query, then the AP would prefer the IPv4 DNS address instead of
the IPv6 DNS address.
When the IP mode is set to v4-prefer mode, the AP derives a link local IPv6 address and
attempts to acquire a routable IPv6 address by monitoring Router Advertisements (RA)
packets. AP assigns itself to both Stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) and
DHCPv6 client address. APs also support IPv6 DNS server addresses and use these for
DNS resolution.
In the CLI:
To enable IPv4 mode or dual stack mode:
(scalance)(config)# ip-mode {v4-only|v4-prefer} (scalance)(config)# end
(scalance)(config)# commit apply
Configuring IPv6 Address for an AP
