Implementing Ipv6 With Ftos - Dell Force10 Z9000 Configuration Manual

case, a DHCP server is used, but it is specifically configured to always assign the same IPv6 address to a
particular computer, and never to assign that IP address to another computer. This allows static IPv6
addresses to be configured in one place, without having to specifically configure each computer on the
network in a different way.
In IPv6, every interface, whether using static or dynamic address assignments, also receives a local-link
address automatically in the fe80::/64 subnet.

Implementing IPv6 with FTOS

FTOS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and both may be used simultaneously in your system.
Note: Dell Force10 recommends that you use FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later when implementing
IPv6 functionality on an E-Series system.
