Any updates or plans when it will be implemented?

IPv4 is rapidly running out here and we're now starting to recycle our own unused IPv4's (they're becoming valuable <sigh>) for our customers in favour of an IPv6 setup. The branch already looked in pretty good shape, especially for a single commit ;)
Please consider adding at least basic subnet administration for 1.7!

Hi There,

we currently start using foreman for autoprovisioning of new servers. The only thing missing is IPv6. So I would also be happy if we could get this into master.

We need to assign IPv6 prefixes to NICs/ hosts and already have some IPv6 only setups.

Hi Dominic,

I checked the latest (and only) commit to this feature and was wondering what are you missing from this. I can see tests were added as well with FactoryGirl, etc. (https://github.com/domcleal/foreman/compare/2315-ipv6)
Maybe someone can chime in and do those missing features/lines.

Thanks!

The biggest change I see is that in IPv6, one interface have more than one IP. Hence the question is if we should make address a first class citizen object. At least keeping this information in Foreman as a first step would be beneficial I think.

Regarding the provisioning using DHCP6 I think the whole process would be completely different as stateful DHCP configuration in IPv6 is rare. Anyone knows how common is it to have implementation of PXE with IPv6 support?
