 Appendix E IPv6

FMG3024-D10A / FMG3025-D10A Series User’s Guide

By default, Windows XP and Windows 2003 support IPv6. This example shows you how to use the 
ipv6 install

 command on Windows XP/2003 to enable IPv6. This also displays how to use the 

ipconfig

 command to see auto-generated IP addresses.

IPv6 is installed and enabled by default in Windows Vista. Use the ipconfig command to check 
your automatic configured IPv6 address as well. You should see at least one IPv6 address available 
for the interface on your computer.

Windows XP does not support DHCPv6. If your network uses DHCPv6 for IP address assignment, 
you have to additionally install a DHCPv6 client software on your Windows XP. (Note: If you use 
static IP addresses or Router Advertisement for IPv6 address assignment in your network, ignore 
this section.)

This example uses Dibbler as the DHCPv6 client. To enable DHCPv6 client on your computer:

Install Dibbler and select the DHCPv6 client option on your computer.

After the installation is complete, select Start > All Programs > Dibbler-DHCPv6 > Client 
Install as service.

Select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

Double click Dibbler - a DHCPv6 client.
