Tip Tuesday: Say hello to Abiquo IPV6!

January 10, 2014 | 1:09 pm

Abiquo has rolled out support for IPV6 and it is possible to easily create Abiquo private, public, external and unmanaged IPV6 networks using only the Abiquo API. Once created, the networks will appear to end users in the Abiquo user interface. Abiquo have made using IPV6 simple for customers, who will be able to use the networks exactly as the IPV4 networks are used. i.e. addresses will appear and be selected through the user interface.

Users also have the option to use the DHCPV6 server to assign addresses, IPV6 will require a separate DHCPV6 server for each datacenter. i.e. Remote Services will require both an IPV4 and IPV6 DHCP Server running.

The implementation covers any IPV6 valid address format (short or long). It also covers the creation of IP addresses with most of the transitional IPV6 technologies: IPV4-mapped, IPV4-compatible, Teredo and ISATAP.
