Question
Does Dominion KX III depend on a
Windows server to operate?
Answer
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.
Dual stack is the ability to simultaneously support
IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Given the gradual transition
from IPv4 to IPv6, dual stack is a fundamental
requirement for IPv6 support.
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.
The KX III can access external servers via their IPv6
addresses, for example, an SNMP manager, syslog
server or LDAP server.
Using the KX III's dual-stack architecture, these
external servers can be accessed via: (1) an IPv4
address, (2) IPv6 address or (3) hostname. So, the
KX III supports the mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment
many customers will have.
The KX III's default networking is set at the factory for
IPv4 only. When you are ready to use IPv6, then
follow the above instructions to enable IPv4/IPv6
dual-stack operation.
See www.ipv6.org for general information on IPv6.
The KX III user guide describes the KX III's support
for IPv6.
Answer
Absolutely not. Because users depend on the
KVM infrastructure to always be available in
any scenario whatsoever (as they will likely
need to use the KVM infrastructure to fix
problems), Dominion KX III is designed to be
completely independent from any external
server.
