Re: Android lack of DHCPv6 purchasing decisions?

If your enterprise depends on DHCPv6 for a variety of NAC or other related
things, then it’s not so absurd to prohibit a platform that fails to support it.

OTOH, Apple refuses to implement 464Xlat, which (at least so far) means
no IPv6 on T-Mo due to opposing brain damage on the T-Mo side.

So far, you generally can’t win.

Hi All,

I have a question for people that deal with mobile devices in
enterprise. Have you decided not to purchase Android devices due to the
lack of DHCPv6 support and consider Apple or some other vendor devices
instead?

It's been thrown around here, discussed and it's absurd so I'm curious
what business purchasing decisions it has lead to now.

Thanks
