Prerequisites
for IPv6 discovery
IPv6
discovery is supported for BGP, IS-IS and OSPF devices only.
The prerequisites are:
- Discovery of the following IPv6 entities by IP AM-PM Domain Manager:
- IPv6 addresses
- IPv6 network
- IPv6 topology (underlying physical and logical interfaces)Start the IP AM-PM server in IPv4v6 or IPv6v4 mode in order to discover the IPv6 topology. Recommended discovery option is IPV4FIRST_IPV6NEXT. The discovery option can be set in the discovery.conf file located in <BASEDIR>/smarts/conf/discovery directory:DiscoveryAddPref=IPV4FIRST_IPV6NEXT
- For CLI based discovery, the CLI access settings for the devices should be configured. Configure the CLI Access Settings for the devices in IP Domain Manager Administration Console > Polling and Threshold console > Device Access tab under Device Access Configurations.
- For IP v6 discovery in , theIPV6LinkLocalAddressEnabledattribute should be set to TRUE in the discovery.conf file of the IPDomain Manager.
