Splunk offers support for version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) as DualStack networking with IPv6 fallback to IPv4 addresses. This helps you create a smooth transition between protocols, as you can use both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol addresses in the same configuration, and continue to update the IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses as needed.

There are no additional charges for using IPv6 addresses with DualStack networking.

IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, networking devices use IPs for secure internet communication. Moving to IPv6 improves security capabilities and features to support the anticipated growth of the Internet.
