Enabling IPv6 Support for Instant AP Configuration

Instant APs support IPv6 address mode for the following features:

• Supported IP modes
• Configuring IPv6 Address for an Instant AP
• RADIUS over IPv6
• SNMP Over IPv6
• SNTP Over IPv6

Supported IP modes

Instant supports two modes of IP address configuration:

• V4-only—The Instant AP would allow IPv6 clients to pass-through just like the previous Instant release.
• V4-prefer—Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If the Instant AP gets both IPv4 and IPv6 responses for a DNS Domain Name System. A DNS server functions as a phone book for the intranet and Internet users. It converts human-readable computer host names into IP addresses and IP addresses into host names. It stores several records for a domain name such as an address 'A' record, name server (NS), and mail exchanger (MX) records. The Address 'A' record is the most important record that is stored in a DNS server, because it provides the required IP address for a network peripheral or element. query, then the Instant AP would prefer the IPv4 DNS Domain Name System.

When the IP mode is set to v4-prefer mode, the Instant AP derives a link local IPv6 address and attempts to acquire a routable IPv6 address by monitoring RA Router Advertisement. The RA messages are sent by the routers in the network when the hosts send multicast router solicitation to the multicast address of all routers. packets. Instant AP assigns itself to both SLAAC Stateless Address Autoconfiguration. SLAAC provides the ability to address a host based on a network prefix that is advertised from a local network router through router advertisements. and DHCPv6 client address.

Configuring IPv6 Address for an Instant AP

The following procedure describes how to enable the IPv6 mode on the Instant AP and also configure a virtual controller IPv6 address:

1. Navigate to the Configuration > System page.
2. Under General, toggle the Allow IPv6 Management switch to enable.
3. Enter the IPv6 address in the Virtual Controller IPv6 address text box.
4. Click Save.

RADIUS over IPv6

SNMP Over IPv6

In this release, you can configure a community string to authenticate messages sent between the virtual controller and the SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a TCP/IP standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.  agent, where the IPv6 address will be used as the virtual controller address.For more information on configuring SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol.
