Question
Answer
What is IPv6?
IPv6 is the acronym for Internet Protocol
Version 6. IPv6 is the "next generation" IP
protocol which will replace the current IP
Version 4 (IPv4) protocol.
IPv6 addresses a number of problems in IPv4,
such as the limited number of IPv4 addresses. It
also improves IPv4 in areas such as routing and
network auto-configuration. IPv6 is expected to
gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting
for a number of years.

the administrator’s point of view
– configuring and maintaining an IP network.
Why does Dominion KX II support
IPv6 networking?
IPv6 networking?
U.S. government agencies and the Department
of Defense are now mandated to purchase
IPv6-compatible products. In addition, many
enterprises and foreign countries, such as
China, will be transitioning to IPv6 over the next
several years.

What is "dual stack" and why is it
required?
required?
Dual stack is the ability to simultaneously
support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Given the
gradual transition from IPv4 to IPv6, dual stack
is a fundamental requirement for IPv6 support.

How do I enable IPv6 on the
Dominion KX II?
Dominion KX II?
Use the "Network Settings" page, available from
the "Device Settings" tab. Enable IPv6
addressing and choose manual or
auto-configuration. Consult the user guide for
more information.

What if I have an external server
with an IPv6 address that I want to
use with my Dominion KX II?
with an IPv6 address that I want to
use with my Dominion KX II?
The Dominion KX II can access external servers
via their IPv6 addresses, for example, an SNMP
manager, syslog server or LDAP server.
Using the Dominion KX II’s dual-stack
architecture, these external servers can be
accessed via: (1) an IPv4 address, (2) IPv6
address or (3) hostname. So, the Dominion KX
II supports the mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment
many customers will have.
