IPv6 support

The Adaptive Server version 15.0.3 supports internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) on all platforms.

Limitation

If you separate each group of IPv6 addresses with a colon (:), and use an IPv6 address as a machine name in sp_listener, the stored procedure fails. In Adaptive Server, colons indicate separate parameters.

For example, this command fails:

sp_listener start, "tcp:fd77:55d:59d9:167:212:79ff:fe9e:63fa:50063","0"

When you use an IPV6 address in a listener address specification parameter, surround it with brackets. For example:

sp_listener start, "tcp:[2001:ec8:4008:1::123]:80:, "0"
