Requirements for using IPv6

Before you can use IPv6 on your SMB/CIFS server, verify which versions of ONTAP and SMB support it and what the license requirements are.

ONTAP license requirements

No special license is required for IPv6 when SMB/CIFS is licensed.

SMB protocol version requirements

  • For SVMs, ONTAP supports IPv6 on all versions of the SMB protocol.

Note
NetBIOS name service (NBNS) over IPv6 is not supported.
