Enabling IPv6 for Online Store

For an IPv6 address to be used by an online store, the online store should be run either on a standalone server or in a Container.

Note: Only containers created in Virtuozzo containers for Linux starting from version 4.6 (updated to 4.6.0-206) or higher are supported.

To enable IPv6 support for online store:

1. Enable IPv6 support
   • In case the online store is run on a standalone server, IPv6 support is enabled by means of operating system. Run /usr/sbin/system-config-network-tuifor setup.

   • In case the online store is running in Container created in Virtuozzo containers for Linux, add the following string to the /etc/vz/vz.conf configuration file:

     IPv6=yes

2. Assign IPv6 address
   • In case the online store is running on a standalone server, IPv6 address is assigned for network adapter by means of operating system. Run /usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui for setup.

   • In case the online store is running in a Container, execute the following command to assign IPv6 address to the VPS where the online store is running:

     vzctl set <Container_ID> --ipadd <IPv6_Address> --save

3. Add the hostname AAAA record to DNS of the online store.

4. Set either the hostname or IP address of the online store in Billing user interface (Products > Online Store > More > Synchronization Settings).

   Note: Only IPv4 address should be entered, for Billing uses only IPv4 for connectivity with online store; whereas IPv6 address can be used for external access to online store.
