With IPv6 support, Instances in shared networks can obtain both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from the DHCP
24-
server. You can deploy Instances either in a IPv6 or IPv4 network, or in a
25-
dual network environment. If IPv6 network is used, the Instance generates a
26-
link-local IPv6 address by itself, and receives a stateful IPv6 address
27-
from the DHCPv6 server.
23+
When IPv6 is enabled, Instances deployed in a Shared Network can obtain both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
24+
CloudStack supports the following deployment models:
25+
- IPv4-only networks
26+
- IPv6-only networks (with supported providers)
27+
- Dual-stack networks (IPv4 + IPv6)
28+
In an IPv6-enabled network:
29+
- The Instance automatically generates a link-local IPv6 address.
30+
- A stateful IPv6 address is assigned through a DHCPv6 server when configured.
31+
Note: IPv6-only Shared Networks are not supported when using the Virtual Router provider. In such environments, IPv6 must be deployed in a dual-stack configuration.
