Support for IPv6
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA supports IPv6 protocols. IPv6 is the latest Internet protocol for IPv4. It
uses 128-bit addresses as opposed to the 32-bit addresses that are used in IPv4. Cisco IOS Release
15.2(4)JA supports these unicast addresses:
• Aggregatable Global Address: These addresses are globally routable and reachable on the IPv6
portion of the Internet. Global addresses are identified by the format prefix of 001.
• Link-local address: These addresses are automatically configured on interface using:
–
Link-local prefix FE80::/10 (1111 1110 10)
–
Interface identifier in the modified EUI-64 format.
Support for Guest Access
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)JA supports guest access to the network. Guest networks provide access to the
Internet and intranet without compromising the security of the host enterprise network.
