IPv6 Address Rules for Server Administrator
When logging in to OMSA, ensure that you enter the IPv6 IP address only inside brackets. For example, [**2001:db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:370:7334].
When entering IP addresses in IPv6 format, one or more number of consecutive groups of leading zero (0) values can be replaced with two colons (::). For example, instead of [2001:db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:370:7334], you can enter [2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334].
The address should have eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where each group is separated by a colon.
The delimiter should be colon (:) only. The dot-decimal notation is not permitted.
One or any number of consecutive groups of leading 0 value may be replaced with two colons (::): For example, 2001:db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:370:7334 can be written as 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
Network Prefixes are not permitted. For example, 2001:0db8:1234::/48 is not permitted.
The address should not have more than one double colon (::).
Unspecified (::) addresses are not supported.
Link local address and loopback (::1) may not be permitted on some features of Server Administrator.
