We added preliminary IPv6 support to Condor 7.7.5.  As of 7.7.5, this functionality is experimental and is disabled by default.  You can enable the support if you would like to try it out.

IPv6 support is available in 7.7.4, but has a severe bug where the condor_starter will likely crash when attempting to connect to another computer over IPv6.

{section: Limitations}

Later versions of Condor should remove all of these limitations.


*: Microsoft Windows is not supported.
*: Mixed IPv4/IPv6 pools are not supported.
*: You must use NO_DNS=TRUE, with all of those ramifications.
*: Security policies cannot use IP addresses, only hostnames.
*: You must set NETWORK_INTERFACE to a specific IPv6 address.

{section: Notes}

*:Unless otherwise specified, when Condor is expecting an IP address (e.g. "192.168.0.1", you must put IPv6 addresses in [square brackets] (e.g. "[fe80::862b:2bff:fe98:65f2]").  If there is a port, it is placed outside of the brackets (e.g. "[fe80::862b:2bff:fe98:65f2]:9618").
*:When using NO_DNS, IPv6 addresses are turned into hostnames by taking the IPv6 address, changing colons to dashes, and appending DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME.  So 2607:f388:1086:0:21b:24ff:fedf:b520 becomes 2607-f388-1086-0-21b-24ff-fedf-b520.example.com (assuming DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME=example.com)

NO_DNS = TRUE
# NO_DNS requires a default domain name.
DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME = example.com

ENABLE_IPV6 = TRUE

# This should be the IPv6 interface for this computer.
# Do not put [square brackets] around this address.
NETWORK_INTERFACE = 2607:f388:1086:0:21b:24ff:fedf:b520

# This is the NO_DNS style name for the central manager
COLLECTOR_HOST = 2607-f388-1086-0-21e-68ff-fe0f-6462.example.com
# Also acceptable would be
#COLLECTOR_HOST =[2607:f388:1086:0:21e:68ff:fe0f:6462]
