There's a growing number of IPv6 experts that say one of IPV6's benefits - autoconfiguration - will be skipped over by network execs who will stick with DHCP instead. DHCPv6 is an updated version that will support IPv6 and one of its chief supporters is Cisco.
Cisco has been supporting DHCPv6 in IOS since 2003 and also supports it in Cisco Network Register (CNR), reports Network World's Carolyn Duffy Marsan. The company says the next version of CNR, expected out by early 2008, will feature parity between DHCPv4 and DHCPv6.
