Ilo Features That Support Ipv6 - HP HPE iLO 5 User Manual

• Use DHCPv6 Supplied Domain Name—Select this check box to use the DHCPv6 server-
supplied domain name.
• Use DHCPv6 Supplied DNS Servers—Select this check box to use IPv6 addresses provided by
the DHCPv6 server for DNS server locations. This setting can be enabled at the same time as the
IPv4 DNS server location options.
• Use DHCPv6 Supplied NTP Servers—Select this check box to use IPv6 addresses provided by
the DHCPv6 server for NTP server locations. This setting can be enabled at the same time as the
IPv4 NTP server location options.
When Enable DHCPv6 in Stateful Mode (Address) is enabled, Enable DHCPv6 in Stateless Mode
(Other) is enabled by default because it is implicit in the DHCPv6 Stateful messages that are required
between iLO and the DHCPv6 server.
DNS Configuration settings
Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server, and Tertiary DNS Server
Enter the IPv6 addresses for the DNS service.
When DNS server locations are configured on both the IPv4 and IPv6 pages, both sources are used.
Preference is given according to the iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first configuration option,
primary sources, then secondary, and then tertiary.
Enable DDNS Server Registration
Enable or disable this option to specify whether iLO registers its IPv6 address and name with a DNS
server.
Static IPv6 Address Configuration settings
Static IPv6 Address 1, Static IPv6 Address 2, Static IPv6 Address 3, and Static IPv6 Address 4
Enter up to four static IPv6 addresses and prefix lengths for iLO. Do not enter link-local addresses.
Status information is displayed for each address.
Static Default Gateway

present in the network.
Static Route Configuration settings
Static Route #1 (Destination), Static Route #2 (Destination), and Static Route #3 (Destination)

Status information is displayed for each Static Route value.

iLO features that support IPv6

iLO 5 supports IPv6 in the iLO Dedicated Network Port configuration. It is not supported with the Shared
Network Port configuration.
The IETF introduced IPv6 in response to the ongoing depletion of the IPv4 address pool. In IPv6,
addresses are increased to 128 bits in length, to avoid an address shortage problem. iLO supports the
simultaneous use of both protocols through a dual-stack implementation.
The following features support the use of IPv6:
