Assign IPv6 addresses to your devices

After you enable IPv6 in your central manager and managed units, assign the IPv6 protocol to all devices in your environment such as databases, and your Guardium® agents, such as S-TAPs.

Databases

In the Datasource Definitions UI, update the datasource IP address in the Host Name/IP field.

S-TAPs

1. If S-TAPs use numeric addresses for tap_ip and sqlguard_port, switch them to IPv6 format. Edit guard_tap.ini, or use guard-config-update, for example.
2. These parameters might need modification, depending on the configuration:
   • Networks
   • exclude_networks
   • connect_to_ip
   • alternate_ips
   • load_balancer_ip
   • log4j_listen_address
3. Restart the S-TAPs.
4. Check connectivity to all databases and Guardium host systems.
