IPv6 Address Configuration
This section calls out the configurations and parameters for which you can enter IPv6 addresses. In this first IPv6 implementation, the complete range of system configurations and their parameters are available for IPv6 use.
The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller follows RFC 3513 its definition of IPv6 address representations. Quoting from that RFC, these are the two forms supported:
- The preferred form is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address. Examples:
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in an individual field, but there must be at least one numeral in every field (except for the case described in 2.).
- Due to some methods of
allocating certain styles of IPv6 addresses, it will be common for addresses to
contain long strings of zero bits. In order to make writing addresses
containing zero bits easier a special syntax is available to compress the
zeros. The use of "::" indicates one or more groups of 16 bits of zeros. The
"::" can only appear once in an address. The "::" can also be used to compress
leading or trailing zeros in an address. For example, the following addresses:
1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A a unicast address FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 a multicast
address
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 the loopback address
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 the unspecified addresses
may be represented as:
1080::8:800:200C:417A a unicast address
FF01::101 a multicast address
::1 the loopback address
:: the unspecified addresses
Note:
For ACLI parameters that support only IPv4, there are many references to that version as the accepted value for a configuration parameter or other IPv4-specific languages. For IPv6 support, these references have been edited. For example, rather than providing help that refers specifically to IPv4 addresses when explaining what values are accepted in an ACLI configuration parameter, you will now see an <ipAddr> note.Access Control
