Network Address Configuration in a Cluster

You can configure a network interface for either IPv4, IPv6, or both types of addresses on a given network. If you configure redundant network interfaces using a third-party technology, then Oracle does not support configuring one interface to support IPv4 addresses and the other to support IPv6 addresses. You must configure network interfaces of a redundant interface pair with the same IP address type. If you use the Oracle Clusterware Redundant Interconnect feature, then you must use IPv4 addresses for the interfaces.

All the nodes in the cluster must use the same IP protocol configuration. Either all the nodes use only IPv4, or all the nodes use only IPv6, or all the nodes use both IPv4 and IPv6. You cannot have some nodes in the cluster configured to support only IPv6 addresses, and other nodes in the cluster configured to support only IPv4 addresses.

The local listener listens on endpoints based on the address types of the subnets configured for the network resource. Possible types are IPV4, IPV6, or both.
