IP Support¶
StarlingX OpenStack supports IPv4 and IPv6 versions for various networks.
All networks must be a single address family, either IPv4 or IPv6, with the exception of the PXE boot network which must always use IPv4. The following table lists IPv4 and IPv6 support for different networks:

If present, the PXE boot network is used for PXE booting of new hosts (instead of using the internal management network), and therefore must be untagged. It is limited to IPv4, since the Platform does not support IPv6 booting. |
