The TS3500 Tape Library supports internet protocol (IP) addresses in both IPv4 and IPv6
format. IPv6 is designed to allow the Internet to grow steadily, both in terms of the number
of hosts connected and the total amount of data traffic transmitted. Both the operator panel
and the Tape Library Specialist Web interface allow the definition of IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. The Key Proxy determines the IP version used and presents the correct IP
address and parameters to the IP Stack.

IPv4 and IPv6 address formats
This topic describes IPv4 and IPv6 address formats.
An IPv4 address has the following format: x . x . x . x where x is called an octet and
must be a decimal value between 0 and 255. Octets are separated by periods. An IPv4
address must contain three periods and four octets. Examples of valid IPv4 addresses
include:
• 1 . 2 . 3 . 4
• 01 . 102 . 103 . 104
Here is an example of a screen that uses IPv4 addresses:
