jmx-dev Query: IPv6 Support in JMX SNMP APIs

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

Yes, IPv6 is supported.

You can specify IPv6 addresses in the ACL files, and you can
specify a specific interface to which to bind to (if you want
to bind to an interface which is not the default) using
the com.sun.management.snmp.interface property.

for instance, you can define:
com.sun.management.snmp.interface=::1

See <jdk-install>/jre/lib/management/snmp.acl.template
and <jdk-install>/jre/lib/management/management.properties

Hope this helps,
