Guidelines

The ip-preference command sets the preferred IP version that the appliance uses when the DNS provider publishes both supported versions of addresses. If the DNS resolves the host name for a remote destination to both a version 4 address and a version 6 address, this property determines which version of the addresses the appliance uses to attempt the connection to the remote destination. The appliance supports version 4, commonly known as IPv4, and version 6, commonly known as IPv6.
