Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addressing for a management port

IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). IPv6 contains numerous features that make it attractive from a security standpoint. It is reliable and easy to set up, with automatic configuration. Huge, sparsely populated address spaces make it highly resistant to malicious scans and inhospitable to automated, scanning, and self-propagating worms and hybrid threats. VNX systems can be accessed with either IPv4 or IPv6 for Unisphere, both VNX for block and VNX for file CLI, and RemotelyAnywhere. This dual stack IPv4/IPv6 mode supports interoperation with older systems.
