Can Windows 7 system configure ipv6?

  
From various messages, we can see that the IPv4 address has been slowly exhausted. Can the IPV6 address succeed instead of IPv4? In fact, the Windows 7 operating system has done a good job of supporting the IPV6 protocol compared to the previous operating systems; however, there are still some problems. One of the first thoughts was that the IPV6 protocol addresses were used in Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 operating systems to still use random interface identifiers. Although the Windows 7 operating system has proven to be ready for IPV6, there is still a difference from the intended goal. The setting of the IPV6 address should not be used this way. In fact, an IPV6 address device should use NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) to determine its network status and interface identity and automatically configure a 128-bit IPV6 address. The relevant provisions on the allocation of IPV6 protocols are detailed in the documents given by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). The documents include: IETF RFC 2373 (IPV6 Addressing Architecture) IETF RFC 2464 (IPV6 protocol packets are transmitted over Ethernet) RFC 4941 (Privacy Extension for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPV6) Microsoft seems to be confused about how interface identifiers should be generated, although Microsoft engineers have helped in the writing of RFC 4941. Of course, you can still force your Windows 7 operating system to use the correct IPV6 address configuration method by running the following command in the dos interface: netsh interface IPV6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled It is recommended that you put these commands into the batch file. Or log in to the file to automatically run the above command each time you start Windows 7. Doing so will prevent you from having problems with the IPV6 protocol with other Windows 7 systems or network devices that support IPV6, such as Cisco's Catalyst switches. If Windows 7 can support the SEND Secure Neighbor Discovery Protocol (RFC 3971), then the situation is very good. SEND is a more secure version of NDP. With SEND, you can verify that the devices on your LAN are safe and effective. Unfortunately, although Microsoft has helped in the process of writing the SEND specification, Windows 7 is still not implemented in the system. Some major network equipment vendors, such as Cisco and Juniper Networks, have implemented support for SEND. I hope that Microsoft can implement SEND support in all of its operating systems in the next release of the service patch package, as well as the implementation of the correct IPV6 address configuration method mentioned earlier. After all, in the face of the crisis on the IPv4 protocol address, it is better to eliminate potential implementation issues and security concerns related to the IPV6 protocol address earlier.
