Requirements for Entering IPv6 Addresses

IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by

colons. You can reduce any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address to a single zero

or omit it. The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:

•

More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets

•

More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet

•

More than two colons in a row
