Enabling IPv6 support at the system layer

Last Updated : Jun 08, 2026 |

About this task

When IPv6 is enabled, you can use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to access Avaya Aura® Device Services. You must enable IPv6 support at the system layer first and then enable it at the application layer. This procedure describes how to enable IPv6 on the system layer.

Important:

AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP software-only deployments do not support IPv6.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the virtual machine where you plan to deploy the Avaya Aura® Device Services application as an administrator.
  2. Run the following command to start an interactive IPv6 configuration: 
    sys ipv6config set
    Tip:

    For general information about the sys ipv6config command, run the following command:

    sys ipv6config -h

    For more information, see sys ipv6config command.

  3. Follow the system prompts to complete the procedure.

Next Steps

Enable IPv6 at the application layer during Avaya Aura® Device Services installation.
