A question came up in a meeting this morning. Another group is going to be turning up some new machines that are going to have IPv6 on them. And actually doing work over IPv6.
Does Xymon support IPv6?
I'm assuming that there will be an IPv4 stack still on the machine, so we could most likely monitor that, but it would be nice if Xymon was keeping track of v6 as well.

Not yet. It is the next "big feature" that needs implementing. I have already gotten my hands on an IPv6 connected system so I can test it.
To begin with, I will add IPv6 support to the Xymon network test tool (xymonnet). Moving the xymond daemon and web interface tools to IPv6 requires a bit more work, so to begin with you will still have to host your Xymon server on IPv4.

Someone may disagree, but I think most if not all uses of Xymon will be dual stacked. I don't see IPv4 going away for quite some time and see no reason to require IPv4 for Xymon.

If you are providing services on IPv6, you may want to be able to ensure that those services are actually available ...
For now, I see no need for the client-side to support IPv6, but in time that may also become a real requirement.

I was saying requiring IPv4 for Xymon is fine while it can do IPv6 tests for now. On Aug 10, 2011 3:40 AM, "Buchan Milne" <bgmilne at staff.telkomsa.net> wrote:

I agree that dual-stacking will be common for some time, but using ipv6 for everything is already practical and will become standard in the near future.

The xymonnet aspect is all I'd be looking for at this point.
Thanks, Paul.
