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.
*: Security policies cannot use IP addresses, only hostnames.  (If you use NO_DNS=TRUE, the "hostnames" are actually reformatted IP addresses, and you can match against those.)
*: You must set NETWORK_INTERFACE to a specific IPv6 address.

Possibly limitations:

*:You must have valid IPv6 (AAAA) DNS and reverse DNS records for the computers.  (NO_DNS=TRUE removes this limitation.)

{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)

{section: Enabling IPv6}

{code}
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
CONDOR_HOST = cm.example.com
# Also acceptable would be the collectors IPv6 address, like the following.
# However, by using the IP address, you can no longer specify your
# security policy in terms of $(CONDOR_HOST)
#CONDOR_HOST =[2607:f388:1086:0:21e:68ff:fe0f:6462]

# This is example security configuration for a pool of three hosts.
