The Mist APs and Mist Edge support IPv6 only and dual stack environments. As well as clients in IPv6 and stack environments.
For APs
- The AP supports DHCPv6 and SLAAC for address assignment
- Global 02 and Global 04 cloud environments support AP to cloud connectivity over IPv6. For other cloud environments, you will need to perform 6to4 NAT.
- APs support RADIUS and Mist Edge connectivity over IPv6
For Mist Edge
- The Mist Edge supports DHCPv6 and SLAAC for OOBM address assignment
- The tunnel IP address supports IPv6 assignment
- Global 02 and Global 04 cloud environments support ME to cloud connectivity over IPv6. For other cloud environments, you will need to perform 6to4 NAT.
- Mist Edge tunnel/AP connectivity over IPv6 supported
For Wi-Fi Clients
- Wi-Fi clients are able to perform address assignment and pass traffic over IPv6 without restriction
- Be sure to enable “Allow IPv6 Neighbor Discovery” option under the WLAN filtering section
- Several policy related features such as WxLAN support of IPv6 and Mist guest portal support of IPv6 are still in development.
IPv6 is a big roadmap item for Mist and we are continually adding support for additional features.
