|
||
|
|
version 6 (IPv6) functions are consistent at the product level with their
|
||
|
|
respective IPv4 counterparts.</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p"><strong>IPv6 is now supported for the following
|
||
|
|
functions:</strong><ul><li>Loopback </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>All Ethernet adapters (10/100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps) </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Virtual Ethernet between partitions </li>

<p><strong>Multiple Ethernet adapters can be used simultaneously with

IPv6.</strong></p>

|

<li>Fragmentation and reassembly</li>

were removed.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>IPv6 can be started and stopped in the same way as IPv4 with Start TCP/IP
|
||
|
|
(STRTCP) and End TCP/IP (ENDTCP) commands. IPv6 cannot be started or stopped
|
||
|
|
independent of IPv4. </li>

<li>The IPv6 loopback interface, <samp class="codeph">::1</samp>, is automatically created

by default when TCP/IP is started.</li>

<li>You can also use the new wizard to create IPv6 interfaces.</li>

|

|
|
names. You can specify a name that identifies an interface in either IPv4
|
||
|
|
or IPv6, instead of using the dotted decimal notation. Interface alias names
|

can be configured using both control language (CL) commands and iSeries™ Navigator.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Preferred interface list</h4><p>You can now create a preferred

interface list to select which adapters and IP addresses will be the preferred
|
||
|
|
interface for the virtual IP address proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
|
||
|

agent selection. This is available for both virtual IP addresses and virtual
