It meant that the Internet's address book grew from 4.3 billion unique addresses to 340 undecillion (340 trillion
trillion trillion) addresses. A growth factor of 79 octillion (billion billion billion).
More and more organizations are implementing IPv6 on their networks. For example, all US federal agency
infrastructures are required to be IPv6 compliant. Examples and illustrations in this manual reflect use of IPv4
because this is still the most widely used IP version. IPv6 works equally well with the system.
Using the system with IPv6 (explained)
The following conditions apply when using the system with IPv6:
Servers
Servers can often use IPv4 as well as IPv6. However, if just one server in your system (for example, a
management server or recording server) requires a particular IP version, all other servers in your system must
communicate using the same IP version.
Example: All of the servers in your system except one can use IPv4 as well as IPv6. The exception is a server
which is only capable of using IPv6. This means that all servers must communicate with each other using IPv6.
Devices
You can use devices (cameras, inputs, outputs, microphones, speakers) with a different IP version than that
being used for server communication provided your network equipment and the recording servers also
support the devices' IP version. See also the illustration below.
Clients
If your system uses IPv6, users should connect with the XProtect Smart Client. The XProtect Smart Client
supports IPv6 as well as IPv4.
If one or more servers in your system can only use IPv6, XProtect Smart Client users must use IPv6 for their
communication with those servers. In this context, it is important to remember that XProtect Smart Client
installations technically connect to a management server for initial authentication, and then to the required
recording servers for access to recordings.
However, the XProtect Smart Client users do not have to be on an IPv6 network themselves, provided your
network equipment supports communication between different IP versions, and they have installed the IPv6
protocol on their computers. See also illustration. To install IPv6 on a client computer, open a command
prompt, enter Ipv6 install, and press ENTER.
