IPv6 Routing
Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) routing is the successor to IPv4. Due to the rapid growth in internet users and IP addresses, IPv4 is
reaching its maximum usage. IPv6 will eventually replace IPv4 usage to allow for the constant expansion.
This chapter provides a brief description of the dierences between IPv4 and IPv6, and the Dell Networking support of IPv6. This chapter
is not intended to be a comprehensive description of IPv6.
NOTE: The IPv6 basic commands are supported on all platforms. However, not all features are supported on all platforms, nor for
all releases. To determine the Dell Networking Operating System (OS) version supporting which features and platforms, refer to
Implementing IPv6 with Dell Networking OS.
NOTE: Even though Dell Networking OS listens to all ports, you can only use the ports starting from 1024 for IPv6 trac. Ports
from 0 to 1023 are reserved for internal use and you cannot use them for IPv6 trac.

Protocol Overview
IPv6 is an evolution of IPv4. IPv6 is generally installed as an upgrade in devices and operating systems. Most new devices and operating
systems support both IPv4 and IPv6.
Some key changes in IPv6 are:
• Extended address space
• Stateless autoconguration
• Header format simplication
• Improved support for options and extensions
