IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) follows IPv4 as the second version of the Internet Protocol to be formally adopted for general use. IPv6 is intended to provide more addresses for networked devices, allowing, for example, each cell phone and mobile electronic device to have its own address.
IPv6 operates on a 128-bit address base and therefore provides a tremendous address space. This huge address space allows for almost unlimited hierarchies and assignment of addresses with specific domains. It also brings improvements in auto-configuration, security, simplified routing, and other services.
Client Automation is IPv6 compliant and can function in a pure IPv4, a pure IPv6, and a mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment.
With IPv6, network adapters may have more than one IPv6 address and also have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. We strongly recommend that you use fully qualified domain names (FQDN) to identify managers, scalability servers, and so on.
