 ## Config encapsulation for cross server traffic
 
 Calico supports two types of encapsulation: [VXLAN and IP in IP](https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.11/networking/vxlan-ipip). VXLAN is the more mature implementation and enabled by default, please check your environment if you need *IP in IP* encapsulation.

 * perform a manual migration to vxlan before upgrading kubespray (see migrating from IP in IP to VXLAN below)

-**Note:**: Vxlan in ipv6 only supported when kernel >= 3.12. So if your kernel version < 3.12, Please don't set `calico_vxlan_mode_ipv6: vxlanAlways`. More details see [#Issue 6877](https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/issues/6877).
