[j-nsp] IPv6 an Advanced Feature? Cmon

[Thomas Dupas]

Restoring an old topic, but since it was related …

the same whitepaper mentions:
"EX series switches will be able to be configured to act as both a DHCPv6 server and relay agent in future releases."

I see that the DHCPv6 server is available, but I see no trace of dhcpv6 relay options (also not in the latest release notes)
Am I overlooking something, or is not there yet?

Br,

Thomas

Hey Juniper,

Is there a reason that IPv6 is mostly down as an Advanced Feature?

Given we're trying to encourage the whole world into moving to IPv6 and
given there is little or no end-user business case to doing so - which
makes things hard enough.  All desktop/server operating systems, IPv6 is a
free inclusion.

Why is Juniper charging for IPv6 routing in the base image?


From: "IPv6 in the Enterprise Using EX serIes switches" -
http://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/whitepapers/2000418-en.pdf

*Licensing*
An advanced feature license (AFL) is required to deploy IPv6 routing
protocols such as RiPng, OSPFv3, IS-IS, MBGP,
PIM, and MLDv1/2 on eX series switches. An AFL is also required for
deploying 6Pe and 6vPe functionality on the
eX8200 line. All other functionality, including IPv6 infrastructure (SLAAC,
NDP, and path MTU discovery), IPv6 quality
of service (Qos), firewall filters, FBF, VRRP for IPv6, DHCPv6
server/relay, port security, management and OAM, is
available in the base image.
