Title: McAfee Host Intrusion version 7 Patch 9 w/ IPv6 support?
Post by: scott66 on 04. June 2011., 16:21:05

I was wondering if the Mcafee HIPS/Firewall version 7 PATCH 9 will support IPv6 protocol.
Since the time is very near in the future, it may be wise to plan....

Thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% sure, but form what I can remember with messing up with it, I think it doesn't. HIPS 8 looks more of a product that supports IPv6...
