On the NAS server, an IPv6 address can be configured on the Admin Services Node - eth0 or eth1. On the SMU, IPv6 addresses are configurable on both eth0 and eth1. On an external SMU, eth0 is considered to be a public interface and eth1 is considered to be a private interface that is used for internal communication. The eth0 interface must always retain an IPv4 address. The IPv6 configuration is in addition to the IPv4 configuration.
The Administrator can configure a static IPv6 IP address for an external SMU as shown in the example below or use the SLAAC option where the address is generated from router advertisements.
The Administrator can use this address to launch the external SMU GUI (NAS Manager) and it also enables the external SMU to manage a server with an IPv6 Admin Services Node address.
