Re: Check Ipv6 Support for ISCSI attempt page

[Karunakar P]

Hello all,



We have a Broadcom NIC card which doesn't support IPv6 (Ipv6Supported flag is 0).



1) But the HTTPv6 boot options are shown.

Unlike in PXE (PxeBcCheckIpv6Support()), the HTTP drivers in edk2 do not have a condition check whether the card supports IPv6 or not.



2) If the card doesn't support IPv6, then for ISCSI attempt page also, Internet Protocol should suppress IPv6



Could you please provide your comments on this?



Thank you

Karunakar

Hi Karunakar,

Thanks for capturing this. We agree that it's reasonable to add similar check to HTTP and ISCSI. Could you please help to file a bugzilla tracker for this?

Thanks,
Ting Ye
