On the Windows command line, run the following commands:
- netsh interface ipv6 set interface LAN weakhostreceive=enabled
- netsh interface *ipv6 *set interface Kemp-SMTP-LOOPBACK weakhostreceive=enabled
- netsh interface *ipv6 *set interface Kemp-SMTP-LOOPBACK weakhostsend=enabled
In the loopback adapter properties:
- IPv6 address: <IPAddressOf TheVIP>
- Subnet prefix length: 128
In Advanced Properties, set the Interface metric to 254.
Note: If you want IPv6 DSR, you must have the IPv6 address as the primary address on the interface. Additional addresses may be IPv6 or IPv4, as required.
