IPv6 questions

Matt Shaffer_1 — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:56:52 GMT

I'm running dhcp-3.0.1-10 on RHEL3.4. Does this version of dhcp support IPv6? Can anyone point me to a good document that states what Redhat OSs support IPv6 and the first versions of dhcp, etc that support IPv6?

thanks
Matt

Hi
I don't think so.

it seems that the first Red Hat version supporting the IPv6 protocol is RHEL 5.2

there is a separate rpm called dhcpv6 for IPv6:
