The following table lists the limitations when the Security Agent only has an IPv6 address.

Pure IPv6 Security Agent Limitations

Item
Limitation
Parent Security Server
Pure IPv6 agents cannot be managed by a pure IPv4 Security Server.
Updates
A pure IPv6 Security Agent cannot update from pure IPv4 update sources, such as:
  • Trend Micro ActiveUpdate Server
  • A pure IPv4 Security Server
  • A pure IPv4 Update Agent
  • Any pure IPv4 custom update source
Scan queries and Smart Feedback
A pure IPv6 Security Agent cannot send queries to Trend Micro Smart Protection Network and cannot use Smart Feedback.
Plug-in solutions
Pure IPv6 agents cannot install plug-in solutions because none of the plug-in solutions support IPv6.
Proxy connection
A pure IPv6 Security Agent cannot connect through a pure IPv4 proxy server.
Most of these limitations can be overcome by setting up a dual-stack proxy server that can convert between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (such as DeleGate). Position the proxy server between the Security Agents and the entities to which they connect.
