PowerScale OneFS Web Administration Guide

IPv6 support

OneFS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats on a cluster.

IPv6 is the next generation of internet protocol addresses and was designed with the growing demand for IP addresses in mind. OneFS supports the USGv6r1 standard of IPv6 used by the US Government.

The following table describes distinctions between IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 IPv6
32-bit addresses 128-bit addresses
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP); Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)
Router Advertisement

You can configure the PowerScale cluster for IPv4, IPv6, or both (dual-stack) in OneFS. You set the IP family when creating a subnet, and all IP address pools assigned to the subnet must use the selected format.
