IPv6

The VSP/SPG (H/OS 2) already supports the next generation IP protocol (IPv6). Messages can be sent and received over IPv6 and it can by nature also act as a gateway betweens IPv6 and IPv4 messaging systems.

Network Configuration

IPv6 may coexist with IPv4 addresses, H/OS 2 supports configuration of IPv6 addresses, IPv6 routing and DNS over IPv6 et.c. IPv6 addresses are treated no differently than IPv4 addresses.

Administration

The following administration services support IPv6:

• HTTP/HTTPS/SOAP
• FTP
• SSH
• SNMP
• Syslog
• NTP
• DNS
• IP Flows
• SMTP

Note: in many client applications you need to enclose IPv6 addresses in brackets eg. http://[2001:....]/.

SMTP

As stated above, it's possible to both send and receive messages using IPv6, and both anti-spam and anti-virus engines work.

Known issues

• Anti-virus signature updates and anti-spam real-time outbreak detection requires an IPv4 connection.
