What IPv6 addressing is
IPv6 addresses can be configured in the network interfaces of your storage system, either manually or automatically. The configuration of IPv6 address depends on the type and scope of the address.
- IPv6 address types
There are three types of IPv6 addresses—unicast, anycast, and multicast.
- IPv6 address scopes
The IPv6 addresses fall under three scopes—global, link-local, and unique local.
