Addressing Remote Hosts
For example, the class A address 79.3.8.22 identifies the network address as 79
and the local host address as 3.8.22.
You can also use hexadecimal notation by preceding the hexadecimal digits with 0X or
0x; for example, 0x4f.0x3.0x8.0x16.
Sometimes an Internet address is represented externally as two numbers separated by
a period: the first number is the network address and the second is the local address;
for example, 130.4541.
For examples of various network configurations and detailed information on host
Internet addresses, see the TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual.
Host Internet Address (IPv6)
An IPv6 address contains 128-bits. You represent such an IP address by using a text
string in the following format:
x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
where x is the hexadecimal value of a 16-bit section of the address. Each of these
sections is separated from the others by colons. For example:
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
If any 16-bit section contains leading zeros, you do not need to enter those zeros. For
example:
1070:0000:0000:0000:0000:0800:200C:417B
can be simplified to:
1070:0:0:0:0:800:200C:417B
When long strings of zeros appear in an address, you can use double colons (::) to
represent several 16 -bit sections containing all zeros. For example:
1070:0:0:0:0:800:200C:417B
can be further simplified to:
1070::800:200C:417B
The double colon can appear only once in an address. It can, however, be used to
represent both leading and trailing zeros.
For examples of various network configurations and detailed information about host
Internet addresses, see the TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual.
