Methods for Capturing and Translating IP Addresses

To make IPv6 addresses available for search, addresses of either IPv4 or IPv6 format must be captured. These addresses are normalized to a format that is known to Discover indexing and search processes.

Discover supports two methods of capturing and translating addresses:

• DNCA: When DNCA is deployed, capture of IPv6 addresses can be enabled. IPv4 addresses can be translated into an IPv6 format for indexing and search. See DNCA Support for IPv6.
• Inflate session agent: If the DNCA cannot be upgraded to a IPv6-supported build now, you must deploy the Inflate session agent to insert the appropriate values in the request for indexing and search of IPv6 addresses.
