How to communicate by TCPIP with IPV6?

[William1225]

Hi,

I have to get data from a server, and used to do it by putty.

I'd like to perform the process automatically, so I adopted the TCPIP protocol to write data and get data.

It is fine when the IP is IPV4, but fail if IPV6.

It seems LabVIEW does not support IPV6...

Is there other way to solve the problem?

You are correct - LabVIEW does not currently support IPv6. There are ideas on the ideas exchange for it which you should add Kudos to if you would like to see this feature.

You will need to use an external library (e.g. .NET, calling a C/C++ DLL etc.) to communicate with an IPv6 device.

Just to be more specific: Native support for IPv6
