Support for IPv6 in Puppet Enterprise

IPv6 is supported in Puppet Enterprise. You can use it by setting parameters in pe.conf when installing PE.

Version and installation information

PE version: all supported

Solution

To use IPv6, set (add or edit) the following parameters on your primary server when installing PE on your primary server by adding the following parameters to pe.conf and run puppet agent -t to complete the change.

• puppet_enterprise::ip_version sets a preference for IPv4 or IPv6, but does not restrict the non-preferred option.

  For example, "puppet_enterprise::ip_version" : 6 or "puppet_enterprise::ip_version" : 4

• puppet_enterprise::ipv6_onlyset this to true to force NGINX to listen only on IPv6.

  The default is false, which allows both IPv4 and IPv6.

  For example, "puppet_enterprise::ipv6_only" : true
