Enhancements to IPv6Support on AP
This release of ArubaOS provides the following IPv6 enhancements on the AP:
l DNS based ipv6 controller discovery
l FTP support for image upgrade in an IPv6 network
l DHCPv6 client support
Monitoring Bandwidth Usage
Starting from ArubaOS 6.5, customers can monitor bandwidth usage by clients/hosts with IPv6 addresses, over
radius protocol. The Framed-IPv6-Address attribute is used in accounting start, stop, and interim packets. A
host can have multiple IPv6 addresses and all of them are tracked to check the usage, for billing purpose.
Filtering an IPv6 Extension Header (EH)
ArubaOS firewall is enhanced to process the IPv6 Extension Header (EH) to enable IPv6 packet filtering. You
can now filter the incoming IPv6 packets based on the EH type. You can edit the packet filter options in the
default EH, using the CLI. The default EH alias permits all EH types.
Execute the following commands to permit or deny the IPv6 packets matching an EH type:
(host)(config) #netexthdr default
(host)(config-exthdr) #eh <eh-type> permit | deny
To view the EH types denied:
(host) (config-exthdr) #show netexthdr default
