Enabling IPv6

Last Updated : May 10, 2021 |

About this task

Session Manager provides a global setting to enable IPv6 support. Use this procedure to enable IPv6.

Warning:

If you have a network with Session Manager instances before 7.1, and IPv6 is enabled on Session Manager 7.1, do not change the service state of any Session Manager 7.0.x or earlier out of the maintenance mode.

If you attempt changing the service state to Accept New Service or Deny New Service, the system displays the following message:

Session Manager xxx service state cannot be changed. IPv6 support is currently enabled and requires all Session Managers to be at version 7.1 or above.

If a Session Manager before 7.1 is not connected, do not change it to Accept New Service or Deny New Service to prevent data replication failures.

Before you begin

Ensure that all Session Manager and Branch Session Manager instances are on Release 7.1 or later. 

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Session Manager > Global Settings.
  2. On the Global Settings page, select the Enable IPv6 check box.
  3. Click Commit.
