Name

Specifies a name for a node that is unique within the cell.

Both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) are now supported by WebSphere Application Server, but there are restrictions that apply to using both IPv4 and IPv6 in the same cell. Note that when you add a node to a cell, the format in which you specify the name is based on the version of IP the node will be using.

Note: Although WebSphere Application Server supports both IPv4 and IPv6, iSeries does not currently support IPv6.
