Start Here Cisco IOS Software Release Specifics for IPv6 Features
The IPv6 for Cisco IOS software feature documentation provides implementation and command reference information for IPv6 features supported in the Cisco IOS software. This Start Here document details only the Cisco IOS software release specifics for IPv6 features. Not all IPv6 features may be supported in your Cisco IOS software release. We strongly recommend that you read this entire document before reading the other IPv6 for Cisco IOS software feature documentation.
Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the Feature Information Table at the end of this document.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
Cisco IOS Software Platform Dependencies and Restrictions
See the table below to determine which IPv6 features are supported in each release of the Cisco IOS software trains.
Note |
For information about IPv6 features in Cisco IOS XE software releases, see "Start Here: Cisco IOS XE Software Release Specifics for IPv6 Features." |
- IPv6 was introduced on the 12.0(21)ST Cisco IOS software release train, which was merged with the 12.0S Cisco IOS software release train starting at Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S. The 12.0S Cisco IOS software release train provides IPv6 support on Cisco 12000 series Internet routers and Cisco 10720 Internet routers only.
- The 12.2S Cisco IOS release train comprises a family of release trains, each supporting different platforms as follows:
The 12.2SE Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco Catalyst 3560, 3750, 3560E, 3750E series, and the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro series.
-
- The 12.2SG Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and Cisco Catalyst 4900 series.
- The 12.2SR Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco 7600 and 7200 series routers.
- The 12.2SX Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco Catalyst 6500. Before the 12.2SR Cisco IOS release train, the 12.2SX release train also included the Cisco 7600 series.
- The 15.0M, 15.1T, and 15.2T Cisco IOS release trains are a continuation of the 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4 Cisco IOS release trains.
- IPv6 is also supported in some special software release trains.
Cisco IOS IPv6 Features and Supported Software Releases
The table below lists the IPv6 features supported in the 12.0S, 12.x T, 12.2S, 12.2SB, 12.2SR, 12.2SX, 12.2SY, 12.3, 12.4, 15.0M, 15.0S, 15.0SY, 15.1S, 15.2S, 15.1T, and 15.2T Cisco IOS software release trains.
Note |
The table identifies the earliest release for each software release train in which the feature became available. Unless noted otherwise in the table, subsequent releases of that Cisco IOS software release train also support that feature. |
