Discovery agents for IPv6

Network Manager provides a Perl agent template that you can use as a base for developing Perl agents to retrieve IPv6 interface data.

Table 1 describes the Perl agent templates.

Note: Rather than having agents with specific IPv6 capabilities, most of the discovery agents have IPv6 capabilities; for example, the InetRouting agent supports IPv6 routing entries but it also downloads IPv4 interfaces and route information.

Table 1. IPv6 agent template
Agent name	Function
IPv6Interface	Template for a Perl agent to retrieve interface information from an IPv6 device. This agent is designed to work in an identical way to the Interface agent. This agent template is located in the Perl agents directory at the following location: $NCHOME/precision/disco/agents/perlAgents.
