I understand that IPv6 needs to be enabled on the host so that IPv6 can be used for vmkernel adapters, but if all we need is IPv6 on virtual machines (thus through both standard switches and distributed switches) do we still need to enable IPv6 on the host? My assumption is yes, but I've seen nothing around that indicates how the standard/distributed switches get configured for IPv6 once it has been enabled on the host.
Also, If some hosts have IPv6 enabled and some don't, how does a distributed switch treat IPv6 traffic?
