1.4.2 Notes on monitoring in an IPv6 network environment

This subsection presents notes on performing monitoring in an IPv6 network environment.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Monitoring processes and services

APM does not support IPv6. Therefore, processes and services on monitoring servers in IPv6 networks cannot be monitored.

(2) Notes on IP addresses of monitoring servers

If you use an IPv6 address to specify a monitoring server via the GUI or a command, make sure that the address conforms to the IPv6 notation defined in RFC 2373. You cannot specify IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses, link-local addresses, or multicast addresses.

(3) Notes on site-local addresses

Site-local addresses that have a scope ID are not supported. If a site local address that has a scope ID is specified, the scope ID (% + scope ID) is ignored.

(4) IPv6 addresses output to commands, windows, and definition files

The following explains the format of IPv6 addresses that are output to commands, windows, and definition files:

The following IPv6 addresses are all displayed as 2001:db8:0:0:1:0:0:1.
