The
NPort 6000 now supports IPv6, the next generation of IP addresses
How
important is IPv6? In fact, a number of governments now require
that all of their new networking equipment support IPv6. The
U.S. government, for example, has specified that the network
backbones of all federal agencies must be able to deploy IPv6
by the end of 2008, and has already purchased a 16-block of
network addresses (that's 281 trillion!) to start the deployment.
China has also included IPv6 implementation into their 5-year
plan.
The new firmware for the NPort 6000
series of secure terminal servers now supports the complete
IPv6 standard.
IPv6, which stands for Internet Protocol version 6, uses 128-bit IP addresses. Compare this with the first version (IPv4), which uses 32-bit IP addresses. This change represents a huge increase in the number of available IP addresses. With Moxa, you won't be left behind.
