7.1.8 Commands and Applications Enabled for IPv6<br />

The <strong>AIX</strong> IPv6 migration platform in <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>.0 has enabled a significant subset of<br />

TCP applications to support the IPv6 protocol. It is, however, important to note<br />

here that applications not supporting IPv6 in this first release will still function<br />

normally for IPv4 networks. Lack of IPv6 support simply means that the<br />

application has not been made IPv6 aware.<br />

Some of the major applications that have not been made IPv6 aware are:<br />

• DCE/DFS<br />

• NFS/NIS<br />

• HACMP<br />

• AnyNet<br />

The applications shown in Table 31 are able to run on either the IPv4 or IPv6<br />

stacks. The code automatically determines the appropriate IP version to use.<br />

information. Typical output from the netstat -ni command is shown in Figure 33.<br />

Note the display of IPv6 addresses.<br />
