[Eril-l] IPv6 addresses for on-campus authentication - polling the group

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi all,

Our campus network dual-broadcasts both IPv6 (which look like for example 3492:130:101:500:adac:fc92:2229:5146) and IPv4 addresses (which look like for example 534.534.643.222), in some circumstances. For a few years now we've been dealing with issues where e-resources platforms start "reading" the IPv6 instead of the IPv4, causing access problems where the IPv6 ranges have not been registered.

A simple question for the community: For those institutions that are using on-campus IP authentication, do you share IPv6 campus ranges with e-resources platforms? I'm going to try to use a Microsoft poll, hopefully the listserv software doesn't reject it. While this is a simple yes/no poll, of course please chime in with any thoughts or experiences - we're really curious what this looks like for other libraries.
