Hi .
I can start with my scenario , I am having 3 Machines and connected to a switch
Win 7 + Win2008R2SP1+ Win 7 --------> SWITCH
All the machine should communicate through IPV6.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue and it is really blocking some execution of test cases on this .
Regards
Hari Rajan

You could install a DHCPv6 in your network to provide ipv6 addresses to hosts or use stateless addressing.
In order to better understand the concepts behind these actions I recommend reading the following documents:

Hello Hari!
IPv6 is widely auto-configuring. And: A switch (multi-port bridge) works an layer 2 of the ISO OSI layer model -- i.e. below of IPv6!
But: Perhaps your switch is "configurable" (via web interface e.g.), and then it perhaps filters out IPv6 packets... Can you check this, please?
