Issue
Is IPv6 IP Addressing format support by Sigma controllers?
Product Line
Satchwell BAS & SigmaEnvironment
- Satchwell Sigma
- IPv4 and IPv6 network environments
Cause
The global pool of IPv4 addresses is nearly depleted. To accommodate the growing demand for IP addresses, the industry is transitioning to IPv6. This raises questions about compatibility with legacy systems such as Sigma controllers.
Resolution
Sigma controllers do not currently support IPv6 addressing.
The recommended and supported protocol for IP addressing in Sigma systems remains IPv4.
Additional Notes
- Ensure your network infrastructure continues to support IPv4 for Sigma devices.
- If planning a migration to IPv6, consider network segmentation or dual-stack configurations to maintain compatibility.
