GTM refuses IPv6 query (AAAA)

Hi,

 

I am trying to test AAAA resolution on GTM 10.2.4 HF10 using Ixload by generating 100 Queries/Second, I keep getting response refused from the GTM, I am not that familiar with the GTM and still learning it.

 

any expert here can help?

 

Thanks

      I tried that but it's still not working. what I am trying to do is that I have a wide ip which resolves both A & AAAA records on ipv4 and ipv6 listeners, ipv4 listener works with no issues and resolves both A & AAAA, but when I try ipv6 listener it doesn't work

      you can ask AAAA record questions on an ipv4 listener, as well as you can ask A record questions with an ipv6 listener. can you ping6 the F5 IPv6 self-ips and listener address?

      yes I can ping both, I tried to lookup up the records using a windows client and it's working, now I am thinking there is a protocol issue in Ixia and that the GTM doesn't understand the way it's querying the records.

      I am using IxLoad where I am using Ixia client to hit the GTM listener to query both IPv6 & IPv4 records over IPv6 listener, but I will take a look at the IxChariot later on and run the test, I will keep this thread updated with the outcome. Thanks a lot for all the effort you are putting here to help, I appreciate that.
