Input Format for IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses

Oracle ILOM accepts the following input format for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Address Input Format

IPv4 (32 bit)

Use a four dotted-decimal number: n.n .n.n

Example: 192.0.2.0

IPv6 (128 bit)

When entering an IPv6 address or Link-Local IPv6 address, the address must be enclosed within brackets to work correctly. However, when you specify an IPv6 address to log in to Oracle ILOM using SSH, do not enclose the IPv6 address in brackets.

Examples:

  • IPv6 address: [2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0/32]
  • IPv6 address using SSH and root account: ssh root@2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0/32
  • Link-Local IPv6 address: [fe80::214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64]
