Table 6. Ethernet IP Address Settings for IPv6

Settings Values and Description

Ethernet IP Address Maximum value of FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF.

• The multi-cast (ff00:/8) and loopback (::1/128) values are not valid

addresses for the Ethernet IP address and/or the other address related

fields described in this section. IPv6 Address forms supported:

• IPv6 Address forms supported:

– X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X — In this form, X represents the hexadecimal

values of the eight 16-bit addresses. You can omit the leading

zeros in individual fields, but you must include at least one

numeral in every field.

– :: (two colons) — Using this form, you can represent a string of

contiguous zero fields in the preferred form. The :: can only

appear once in the address. You can also use this form to

represent unspecified addresses (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0).

– x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d — This form is sometimes more convenient

when in a data center with IPv4 and IPv6 nodes. In this form, x

represents the hexadecimal values of the six high-order 16-bit

pieces of the address, and d represents the decimal values of the

four low-order 8‑bit pieces of the address (standard IPv4

representation)

Prefix Length Maximum value of 128.

Default Gateway Maximum value of FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

from the DHCP server, and you must manually define the DNS Server 1

and DNS Server 2 fields.

DNS Server 1 (Primary DNS Server) Maximum value of FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF.
