An IPv6 address can have two formats:
•
Normal - Pure IPv6 format
•
Dual - IPv6 plus IPv4 formats
An IPv6 (Normal) address has the following format:
y : y : y : y : y : y : y : y
where
y
is called a
segment
and can be any hexadecimal value between 0 and FFFF. The
segments are separated by colons - not periods. An IPv6 normal address must have eight
segments, however a short form notation can be used in the Tape Library Specialist Web
interface for segments that are zero, or those that have leading zeros. The short form
notation can not be used from the operator panel.
Examples of valid IPv6 (Normal) addresses:
•
2001 : db8: 3333 : 4444 : 5555 : 6666 : 7777 : 8888
•
2001 : db8 : 3333 : 4444 : CCCC : DDDD : EEEE : FFFF
•
: :
(implies all 8 segments are zero)
•
2001: db8: :
(implies that the last six segments are zero)
•
: : 1234 : 5678
(implies that the first six segments are zero)
•
2001 : db8: : 1234 : 5678
(implies that the middle four segments are zero)
•
2001:0db8:0001:0000:0000:0ab9:C0A8:0102
(This can be compressed to eliminate
leading zeros, as follows:
2001:db8:1::ab9:C0A8:102
)
Here is an example of a screen that uses IPv6 addresses:
