TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator 2.4.2

# Support for IPv6 Addresses in TEA

Starting in version 2.2.0, TIBCO® Enterprise Adminsitrator (TEA) provides support for IPv6 address format.

By default, TEA uses IPv4 address format. To use IPv6 address format you must set the `java.net.preferIPv6addresses` system property to true. This property is set to false by default. Set this system property when running the agent:

    -Djava.net.preferIPv6addresses=true

If you choose to use the IPv6 format, make a note of the following points:

- For TEA agents that are older than version 2.2.0 and are registered with TEA server version 2.2.0 or greater, the IPv6 Address column in the Machines view in the TEA Web user interface is blank. The IPv6 address for the agent's machine is not displayed in the IPv6 Address column.
- When registering an agent to a server, use square brackets around the IPv6 address. The following is an example of a URL that uses an IPv6 address format to register a Tomcat agent to the TEA server:

  `http://[FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210]:8082/tomcatagent`

- The syntax to use the scp command is as follows:

      scp -P 2222 admin@[10::4]:<filename>

  where 10::4 is the IPv6 address of the machine.

  The syntax to use the sftp command is as follows:

      sftp -P 2222 admin@[10::4]

  You can use the above command with or without the square brackets around the IP address.

- The syntax to use the ssh command is as follows:

      ssh -p 2222 admin@10::4

  where 10::4 is the IPv6 address of the machine.
