AIX 4.3 Yes Yes Yes No
AlliedWare Plus 5.4.4 Yes Yes Yes No
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) Yes[1][2] Yes No[3] Yes Supports ND-RDNSS in Android 5.0 and above. Does not support DHCPv6.[3] Suffers from intermittent loss of its unicast address on some phones.[4]
ChromeOS 67.0.3396.99 Yes Yes No No Does not support DHCPv6 or RDNSS.
Cisco IOS 15.3 Yes Yes Yes Yes[5] Support for RDNSS option as of 15.4(1)T, 15.3(2)S.
Cisco Meraki MX + MR + MX series No No No No [6] Devices can only carry / pass through IPv6 on bridge, but not route
Debian 3.0 (woody) Yes Yes Yes Yes RDNSS support with "rdnssd" and "resolvconf" or "openresolve" packages.
Fedora 13 Yes Yes[7] Yes[7] Yes[7]

HP-UX 11i Yes Yes Yes Yes [11]
IBM i 7.1 Yes Yes Yes No [12]
iOS 4.1 Yes Yes Yes Yes[13] iOS supports stateless DHCPv6 since version 4 and stateful DHCPv6 since 4.3.1.
Juniper JUNOS 14.1 Yes Yes Yes Yes RDNSS support introduced in JUNOS 14.1[14]
macOS Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) Yes Yes Yes[15] Yes[16] Versions 10.7 through 10.10 often prefer IPv4 even when working IPv6 connectivity is available.[17] Versions 10.11 and up will prioritize IPV6 Traffic in spec with Happy Eyeballs.[18]
MeeGo 1.2 No[19] Yes[20] No Yes[21]
NetBSD 7.0 Yes Yes Yes Yes
OpenBSD 5.2 Yes Yes Addon[9] Yes RDNSS is only supported for rtadvd so far.
openSUSE 42.1 (Leap) Yes[22] Yes Yes Yes openSUSE Leap 42.1 is a hybrid distribution using source code from SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 Service Pack 1.
OpenVMS 8.3 Yes Yes No No
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Yes[23] Yes Yes[9] Yes
Solaris 10 Yes Yes Yes No Not enabled by default.
Solaris 11 Yes Yes Yes Yes[24]
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Yes[25] Yes Yes Yes
Symbian 7.0 Yes Yes No No
Ubuntu All supported versions Yes Yes Yes Yes RDNSS support available so long as NetworkManager uses IPv6 "Automatic" setting, otherwise "rdnssd" package required.
webOS 2.1.0 No No No No [26]
Windows NT [includes
Windows 10 Mobile]		 5.1 (XP) Yes No Addon[9] No Windows XP users can use Dibbler, an open source DHCPv6 implementation.--update: Windows XP fully supports IPv6- but NOT IPv6 DNS queries (nslookup)[27]
6.X (Vista), 7, 8, 8.1, 10 RTM-Anniversary Update Yes[28] Yes Yes[9] No dnssd-win32 provides an open source implementation of ND RDNSS[29]
10 Creators Update Yes[28] Yes Yes[9] Yes Windows 10 Creators Update introduces support for RFC 8106 (6106) RDNSS.
Windows Mobile 6.5 Yes Yes Lite[30] No If the OEM explicitly unsets the SYSGEN_TCPIP6 pre-processor symbol, the built image will not have any IPv6 capabilities.
Windows Phone 7.5 No No No No Windows Phone 8 might have some support.[31]
8(.1)[32] Yes Yes Yes No Private lab research. No privacy extensions (RFC4941).
z/OS V1R4.0 Yes Yes No[33]
z/VM V5R1.0 Yes Yes No No [34]
z/VSE V4R2 Addon[35] No Via a third party TCP/IP stack, IP6/VSE from Barnard Software, Inc.

Notes

  • Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor SLAAC cannot automatically configure unicast IPv6 addresses.
  • Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor ND RDNSS cannot automatically configure name servers in an IPv6-only environment.
