IPv6

IBM® Security Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) protects IPv6 networks from attacks. Any special considerations related to IPv6 support are noted in the appliance help.

IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4 as the standard internet protocol. As you prepare your networks for the transition to IPv6 traffic, the Network IPS appliance can be configured to support IPv6 traffic while it continues to support IPv4 traffic.

The appliance supports IPv6 addresses for the following features.
  • User defined events
  • Protection domains
  • Connection events
  • Quarantine rules
  • Response filters
  • Firewall rules
  • High availability
  • Management interfaces
  • Agent Manager for SiteProtector™
  • SNMP notifications (informs and traps)
  • NTP servers
