Component Firmware
Title Added limited IPv6 support
Date Aug 5, 2026
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

With this Werk initial IPv6 support has been added to allow configuring the primary network interface with IPv6.

Support for this feature is limited to the console setup and simple network configuration in the web interface. Advanced mode configuration is currently not supported.

Configuring the primary address as IPv6 and adding the secondary IPv6 address will result in only the primary address being used.

Netmasks can be entered in CIDR notation (e.g. /64).

Configuring IPv6 addresses for DNS servers is supported. NTP works with servers that support IPv6.
