Troubleshoot IPv6 networking issues¶

This guide helps you diagnose and resolve common IPv6 networking issues in ScyllaDB clusters.

Quick diagnostics¶

Run these commands to quickly assess your IPv6 configuration:

# Check pod IPv6 addresses
kubectl get pods -n scylla -l scylla-operator.scylladb.com/pod-type=scylladb-node -o wide

Expected output for dual-stack:

NAME                            READY   STATUS    IP
scylla-dual-stack-us-east-1a-0  2/2     Running   10.244.2.42
scylla-dual-stack-us-east-1a-1  2/2     Running   10.244.2.43

Pods show IPv4 addresses. IPv6 addresses are assigned but not displayed in kubectl get pods. To verify IPv6, check services or use the address detection command from the migration guide.

# Verify service IP families
kubectl get svc -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,IP-FAMILIES:.spec.ipFamilies,POLICY:.spec.ipFamilyPolicy -n scylla

Expected output for dual-stack:

NAME                            IP-FAMILIES        POLICY
scylla-dual-stack-client        [IPv4 IPv6]        PreferDualStack
scylla-dual-stack-us-east-1a-0  [IPv4 IPv6]        PreferDualStack

Expected output for IPv6-only:

NAME                          IP-FAMILIES   POLICY
scylla-ipv6-client            [IPv6]        SingleStack
scylla-ipv6-us-east-1a-0      [IPv6]        SingleStack

Services should show the expected IP families based on your configuration.
