Summary
Know the IPv6 limitations and prerequisites before installing the TMCM 6.0 server.
Details
IPv6 requirements
- The TMCM server must be installed on Windows Server 2008. It cannot be installed on Windows Server 2003 because the operating system only supports IPv6 addressing partially.
- Install the IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, and enable the IPv6 stack.
- The IPv4 loopback interface is required. To verify that the TCP/IP software is working properly, ping 127.0.0.1.
IPv6 server limitations
- Dual IP stacks: TMCM 6.0 only supports dual IP stacks. IPv6 support may not work properly if the IPv4 stack is removed.
- MCP agent: IPv6 only works for Trend Micro Management Communication Protocol (MCP) agents. It does not work for TMCM 2.x agents.
- IPv6 address format: The % character is not supported for IPv6 addresses.
- Control Manager report: IPv6 addresses may not display correctly in predefined reports.
