Check for IPv6 compatibility

Prev Next

To check for IPv6 compatibility, complete the following

  1. To allow read and write permissions on the mounted file systems, in NFS server update the /etc/exports file with the ELM and ELS IP addresses. For example:

    entry /etc/exports <mount_point> -alldirs -quiet -maproot="siem":"nogroup" -network <IP address of ELM/ELS/subnet> \
    /mnt/tankA/nfs-testing -alldirs -quiet -maproot="siem":"nogroup" -network 2607:8d40:42:3501:1111:ffff:ffff:1122/64
    

    Replace <mount_point> and <IP address of ELM/ELS/subnet> with appropriate values.

  2. Ensure NFS server reads the updated file. For example, on a Ubuntu system, use the following command:

    exportfs -ra

    Note

    This command is specific to Ubuntu. If you use a different operating system, use the command appropriate to your OS.

  3. Update the settings in the /etc/NitroGuard/network.conf file:

    • To assign a static IPv6 address, make the following changes:

      • ipv6=manual

      • dhcp=no

      • Enter appropriate values for gateway, dns1, and dsn2.

    • To configure a DHCP assignment for the IPv6 address, make the following changes:

      • ipv6=manual

      • dhcp=yes

    Note

    There should not be any line for IPv4 in the network.conf file.

    Only ipv6=manual is supported.

    ipv6=off refers to an IPv4 environment, whether DHCP is set to yes or no.

  4. Enable the Rule Service connection. In the UI, go to System PropertiesClusteringEdit the NodeProxy and enter the IPv6 address of the proxy server, port, and credentials.

  5. Check the rule service is connected. In the UI, go to System PropertiesSystem InformationRules UpdateCredentialsCustomer ID and Password.
