Understanding ArubaOS Supported Network Configuration for IPv6
Clients
ArubaOS provides wired or wireless clients using IPv6 addressing with services such as firewall functionality, layer-2
authentication, and, with the installation of the Policy Enforcement Firewall Next Generation (PEFNG), identity-
based security. The Dell controller does not provide routing or Network Address Translation to IPv6 clients (see
“Important Points to Remember” on page140).
Supported Network Configuration
Clients can be wired or wireless and use IPv4 and/or IPv6 addressing. ArubaOS requires that the default gateway for
the IPv6 clients be an external router that supports IPv6. The Dell controller itself has an IPv4 address, and can
offer limited routing services to IPv6 clients. It is highly recommended to use an external IPv6 router for a complete
routing experience (dynamic routing and router advertisements ). You can use the WebUI or CLI to display IPv6
client information.
IPv6 clients must be mapped to a VLAN that is bridged to an external router which provides IPv6 services to those
clients. On the controller, you can configure IPv4 and IPv6 clients on the same VLAN.
