First Published: June 7, 2001

Last Updated: October 7, 2011

This document lists the IP version 6 (IPv6) features supported in the 12.xT, 12.2S, 12.2SY, 12.3, 12.4, 15.0, 15.0S, 15.0SY, and 15.1 Cisco IOS software release trains.

The IPv6 for Cisco IOS software feature documentation provides implementation and command reference information for IPv6 features supported in the Cisco IOS software. This Start Here document details only the Cisco IOS software release specifics for IPv6 features. Not all IPv6 features may be supported in your Cisco IOS software release. We strongly recommend that you read this entire document before reading the other IPv6 for Cisco IOS software feature documentation.

Cisco IOS Software Platform Dependencies and Restrictions

IPv6 features are supported in the 12.0S, 12.xT, 12.2S, 12.2SB, 12.2SE, 12.2SR, 12.2SX, 12.2SY, 12.3, 12.4, 15.0, 15.0SY, and 15.1 Cisco IOS software release trains, starting at Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S, 12.2(2)T, 12.2(14)S, 12.2(28)SB, 12.2(25)SEA, 12.2(33)SRA, 12.2(17a)SX1, 12.2(50)SY, 12.3, 12.4, 15.0(1)M, 15.0(1)SY, and 15.1(1)S, respectively. See Table 1 to determine which IPv6 features are supported in each release of the Cisco IOS software trains.

•IPv6 was introduced on the 12.0(21)ST Cisco IOS software release train, which was merged with the 12.0S Cisco IOS software release train starting at Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S. The 12.0S Cisco IOS software release train provides IPv6 support on Cisco 12000 series Internet routers and Cisco 10720 Internet routers only.

•The 12.2S Cisco IOS release train comprises a family of release trains, each supporting different platforms as follows:

–The 12.2SB Cisco IOS release train comprises the Cisco 10000, 7304, 7301, and 7200 series. As of Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB, the Cisco 7200 and 7301 series are not supported on the 12.2SB release train.

The 12.2SE Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco Catalyst 3560, 3750, 3560E, 3750E series, and the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro series.

–The 12.2SG Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and Cisco Catalyst 4900 series.

–The 12.2SR Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco 7600 and 7200 series routers.

–The 12.2SX Cisco IOS release train consists of the Cisco Catalyst 6500. Before the 12.2SR Cisco IOS release train, the 12.2SX release train also included the Cisco 7600 series.

•The 15.0M and 15.1T Cisco IOS release trains are a continuation of the 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4 Cisco IOS release trains.

•IPv6 is also supported in some special software release trains.

Cisco IOS IPv6 Features and Supported Software Releases

Table 1 lists the IPv6 features supported in the 12.0S, 12.xT, 12.2S, 12.2SB, 12.2SR, 12.2SX, 12.3, 12.4, and 15.0M Cisco IOS software release trains.

---

Note Table 1 identifies the earliest release for each software release train in which the feature became available. Unless noted otherwise in Table 1, subsequent releases of that Cisco IOS software release train also support that feature.
