Hi,

 

If you are configuring ipv6 address on an interface running ipv4, then there should be impact to the ipv4 traffic on the interface.

Thanks

John

 

Edit:

 

It should have read "then there should be no impact to the ipv4 traffic on the interface"

 

Thanks

John

Hi mate 

are you sure that it will impact because the interface is capable of having both ipv6 and ipv4 address

Adding ipv6 to the interface should not impact the ipv4 traffic, as they are two different stacks.
