The S7500E Series Ethernet Switches are distributed devices supporting Intelligent Resilient
Framework (IRF). Two S7500E series can be connected together to form a distributed IRF device.
If an S7500E series is not in any IRF, it operates as a distributed device; if the S7500E series is in
an IRF, it operates as a distributed IRF device. For introduction of IRF, refer to IRF Configuration
in the IRF Configuration Guide.

EA cards (such as LSQ1GP12EA and LSQ1TGX1EA) do not support IPv6 features.
IPv6 Overview
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), also called IP next generation (IPng), was designed by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) as the successor to Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). The significant
difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits.
