Enabling IPv6 for a Fabric
Describes how to enable IPv6 communication for an on-premise fabric.
Prerequisites
The underlying hardware that hosts Data Fabric must have a network interface card (NIC) that supports IPv6 addressing. This means, all fabric nodes must have the IPv6 compatible hardware.
About this task
You can enable IPv6 on an on-premise fabric.
Data Fabric can communicate with clients over IPv6 addressing. Inter-cluster traffic and intra-cluster traffic over IPv6 connections is supported with IPv4 compatibility.
See IPv6 Support in Data Fabric for details on IPv6 support.
You can enable IPv6 network communication for a fabric by using the Data Fabric UI.
Follow the steps given below to enable IPv6 communication
Procedure
- Log on to the Data Fabric UI.
- Click the Fabric Administration icon on the left panel.
- Select the fabric from the fabric dropdown for which you wish to enable IPv6 communication.
- Click the Upgrade to IPv6 link.
