6.11.3 Checking IP addresses
When communicating in an IPv6 environment, the connection source (agent host) must use the same version (type) of IP address as the connection destination (manager host).
You can find out if the hosts are using the same type of IP address by checking whether the following IP addresses are the same type:
-
The primary IP address of the connection destination resolved at the connection source
-
The IP address of the local host resolved at the connection source
-
The IP address of the local host resolved at the connection destination
The IP addresses resolvable for the local host at the connection source and the connection destination must include an IP address of the same type as the primary IP address resolved for the connection destination at the connection source.
The following describes how to check each IP address.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Checking the primary IP address resolved for the connection destination at the connection source
- At the connection source:
-
-
Execute the jp1ping command with the -v option and the name of the connection destination host specified.
-
Of the IP addresses resolved from the host name of the destination host, check the type of the IP address displayed first (the primary IP address).
-
(2) Checking the IP address resolved for the local host at the connection source
- At the connection source:
-
-
Execute the jp1ping command with the local host name specified.
-
Identify the address type of the IP address resolved from the local host name.
-
(3) Checking the IP address resolved for the local host at the connection destination
- At the connection destination:
-
-
Execute the jp1ping command with the local host name specified.
-
Identify the address type of the IP address resolved from the local host name.
