= Dual-stack support
[role="_abstract"]
If IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack networking is enabled for your cluster, you can create a service that uses IPv4, IPv6, or both, by defining the `spec.ipFamilyPolicy` and the `spec.ipFamilies` fields in the `Service` object.
The `spec.ipFamilyPolicy` field can be set to one of the following values:
SingleStack:: The control plane assigns a cluster IP address for the service based on the first configured service cluster IP range.
PreferDualStack:: The control plane assigns both IPv4 and IPv6 cluster IP addresses for the service on clusters that have dual-stack configured.
RequireDualStack:: This option fails for clusters that do not have dual-stack networking enabled. For clusters that have dual-stack configured, the behavior is the same as when the value is set to `PreferDualStack`. The control plane allocates cluster IP addresses from both IPv4 and IPv6 address ranges.
You can define which IP family to use for single-stack or define the order of IP families for dual-stack by setting the `spec.ipFamilies` field to one of the following array values:
* `[IPv4]`
* `[IPv6]`
* `[IPv4, IPv6]`
* `[IPv6, IPv4]`

====
IPv6 single stack and the `[IPv6, IPv4]` array are not supported in {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name}.
