IPv6 support
Select Digi productssupport Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), electronic devices use this network
layer standard to exchange data acrossa packet-switched network. IPv6is providesmore addresses
for networked devices than IPv4.
Theprimary change from IPv4 to IPv6 isthe length of network addresses. IPv4 addressare 32 bits
long. In contrast, IPv6addresses are 128 bits long and are typically composed of two logical parts: a
64-bit network prefix and a 64-bit host part, which is either automatically generated from the
interface’s MACaddress or assigned sequentially.
IPv6 addresses are normally written aseight groupsof four hexadecimal digits. For example:
3002:0ff2:63a5:0db8:42ae:0040:02de:3560. You can omit leading zerosin a group. If a four-digit group
is0000, the zeros may be omitted, and that part of the addressshortened to two consecutive colons,
