The web console allows you to configure an IPv6 address. The following are some configuration guidelines.

  • Apex Central accepts standard IPv6 address presentations.

    For example:

    2001:0db7:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

    2001:db7:85a3:0:0:8a2e:370:7334

    2001:db7:85a3::8a2e:370:7334

    ::ffff:192.0.2.128

  • Apex Central also accepts link-local IPv6 addresses, such as:

    fe80::210:5aff:feaa:20a2

    Warning:

    Exercise caution when specifying a link-local IPv6 address because even though Apex Central can accept the address, it might not work as expected under certain circumstances. For example, Apex Central cannot update from an update source if the source is on another network segment and is identified by its link-local IPv6 address.

  • When the IPv6 address is part of a URL, enclose the address in square brackets ([]).
