V6 code suggestion
Anyone have a good recommendation for code to run on BigIron 4000's to
support IPv6?

We've been looking at 7.7.02, but have seen some stability issues with
it, so thought it might be good to ask others who may be running other
versions.

Thanks!

David

Does 7.7.02 support IPv6 then ? We are currently running 7.7.01, but
there's no IPv6 support in that release.

If there is going to be an IPv6 software release from foundry anytime
soon we will only use it if it has decent OSPF and BGP support for IPv6

It's supported in 7.7.02 and above, most features on jetcore
only. Like you, we're running 7.7.01 in production, and have briefly
played with 7.8.00b on our development systems.

It appears that 7.7.02 also has support for RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+.

There's a new V6 configuration manual - see
