If you are experiencing difficulties with connecting to ILOM when using IPv6, see TABLE C-1 to help resolve common problems when accessing ILOM using IPv6.

TABLE C-1 Common IPv6 Connection Problems and Suggested Resolutions
IPv6 Common Connection Problem | Suggested Resolution
--- | ---
Unable to access the ILOM web interface using an IPv6 address. | Ensure that the IPv6 address in the URL is enclosed by brackets, for example: `https://[fe80::221:28ff:fe77:1402]`
Unable to download a file using an IPv6 address. | Ensure that the IPv6 address in the URL is enabled by brackets, for example: `load -source tftp://[fec0:a:8:b7:214:rfff:fe01:851d]desktop.pkg`

Verify that the network client has IPv6 address configured (not just a Link-Local address). If on the same or separate subnet, try the following Ensure that setting for `IPv6 State` is enabled on the Network Settings Page in the ILOM web interface or under the `/SP/network/ipv6` target in the ILOM CLI. Run `ping6` in a restricted shell. Run `traceroute` in a restricted shell.
Unable to access ILOM from a client within a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. | Ensure that the following settings are enabled: `State` - You can enable the setting for `State` on the Network Settings page in the ILOM web interface or under the`/SP/network` target in the CLI. IPv6 State`` - You can enable the setting for `IPv6` `State` on the Network Settings page in the ILOM web interface or under the `/SP/network/ipv6` target.
