Support for Internet Protocol version 6

FH Web Edition supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the successor to IPv4, the dominant Internet layer protocol. IPv6 has a much larger address space than IPv4, and allows flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic.

FH Web Edition supports the following:

  • FH Web Edition servers accept connections from IPv4 and IPv6 clients.
  • FH Web Edition relay servers accept connections from IPv4 and IPv6 dependent servers.
  • Administrators can specify a relay server in the FH Web Edition Connection Manager using a hostname, an IPv4 address, or an IPv6 address.
  • Users can connect to a FH Web Edition server using its hostname, its IPv4 address, or its IPv6 address.
