I suspect if you keep the switch in layer 2 mode IPv6 will work
just fine, but I wouldn't expect IPv6 layer 3 support from the
switch(so don't expect it to be able to act as a router for your
IPv6 network, and you may need a separate IPv4 network to manage
the switch over IP)

It might work but I wouldn't expect it to.
