Introduction to IPv6
Migrating to IPv6
IPv6 Propagation
IPv6 is currently in the early stages of deployment worldwide, involving a
|
|
| Since most initial IPv6 deployments are in networks having a mixture of IPv6 |
| and IPv4 hosts software release K.13.01 supports dual- stack IPv4/IPv6 oper |
| ation. This enables the switch to communicate individually with IPv4 and IPv6 |
| devices with their respective protocols. Thus, IPv4 and IPv6 traffic is |
| supported simultaneously on the same VLAN interface. This means that both |
| IPv4 and IPv6 devices can operate at the same time on a given VLAN. |
|
|
N o t e | Software release K.13.01 does not include gateways for translation between |
| IPv6 and IPv4 traffic. While IPv4 and IPv6 traffic coexists on the same VLAN, |
| the individual IPv4 and IPv6 devices ignore each other's traffic. |
| To forward IPv6 traffic from the switch to an |
| VLAN, a link to an external |
| movement from the switch over IPv4 paths requires routers capable of IPv6 |
| over IPv4 tunneling. |
