This topic lists the hardware and software requirements for configuring the server for IPv6.
Configure an Ethernet line for IPv6
Your system should meet these requirements to be able to configure an Ethernet line to allow IPv6 to function on your server:
- i5/OS™ Version 5 Release 4.
- iSeries™ Access
for Windows® and iSeries Navigator:
- Network component of iSeries Navigator.
- IPv6-capable router, if you want to send IPv6 traffic beyond the immediate LAN.
- TCP/IP (using IPv4), configured because TCP/IP must be running on the server. If you have not configured your server for IPv4, see Configure TCP/IP for the first time before configuring the line for IPv4.
