Client IP Addresses

An OfficeScan server installed in an environment that supports IPv6 addressing can manage the following OfficeScan clients:

An OfficeScan server installed on a pure IPv6 host machine can manage pure IPv6 clients.
An OfficeScan server installed on a dual-stack host machine and has been assigned both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can manage pure IPv6, dual-stack, and pure IPv4 clients.

After you install or upgrade clients, the clients register to the server using an IP address.

Pure IPv6 clients register using their IPv6 address.
Pure IPv4 clients register using their IPv4 address.
Dual-stack clients register using either their IPv4 or IPv6 address. You can choose the IP address that these clients will use.

To configure the IP address that dual-stack clients use when registering to the server:

This setting is only available on dual-stack OfficeScan servers and is applied only by dual-stack clients.

IPv4 only: Clients use their IPv4 address.
IPv4 first, then IPv6: Clients use their IPv4 address first. If the client cannot register using its IPv4 address, it uses its IPv6 address. If registration is unsuccessful using both IP addresses, the client retries using the IP address priority for this selection.
