Configure the Include IPv6 Addrs in Autofind option

When a Hub is discovered by the Autofind feature, the AnywhereUSBManager receives multiple addresses for that Hub. The first IP address that successfully completes a connection will be the one used for the duration of that connection.

The Include IPv6 Addrs in Autofind option works with the Autofind Hubs option to determine whether IPv6 addresses received are used to attempt connection to that Hub. If IPv6 addresses will not be used, only IPv4 addresses received will be tried.

Note You can manually add IPv6 addresses to the the Known Hubs list and these are able to connect to the Manager, regardless of the status of the Include IPv6 Addrs in Autofind option.

IPv6 addresses may fail to connect to Hubs if:

• The Hub does not have IPv6 enabled.

• The PC running the Manager does not have IPv6 transport enabled on the interface that would be used to connect to that Hub.

• A router or firewall in between the Hub and the Manager is blocking IPv6 traffic.

Note The status of the Include IPv6 Addrs in Autofind option is considered only if the Autofind Hubs option is enabled.

Autofind Hubs	Included IPv6 Addrs in Autofind	Outcome
Enabled	Enabled	Connection attempts using all discovered IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for Hub. This is the default.
Enabled	Disabled	Connection attempts using all discovered IPv4 addresses for Hub, if any.
Disabled	N/A	The Autofind feature is not used. The only connection attempts are from the Known Hubs list.

To enable or disable the Include IPv6 Addrs in Autofind option:

1. Open AnywhereUSB Manager.
2. Choose File > Preferences. The Preferences dialog appears.
3. Click the Setup tab.
4. Determine the Include IPv6 Addrs in Autofind configuration.

   Note This option is considered only if the Autofind Hubs option is enabled.

   • Enable: Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of Hubs discovered by Autofind are used to attempt connections to the Manager.

     This is the default.

   • Disable: Only IPv4 addresses of Hubs discovered by Autofind are used to attempt connections to the Manager.
5. Click Save.
