Before you perform the steps in this procedure, make sure all sites have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses online.
In the following example, the hostnames of the systems configured with IPv6 match the ones in the IPv4 network. The hostnames of the virtual IPs in the IPv4 and IPv6 networks also match.
To migrate the VVR links from IPv4 to IPv6

The IPv4 network is still present. You can remove the IPv4 network to complete the migration process.
