IP Version 6

IPv4 addresses have been in use for quite some time and it was recognized that eventually there would be no more public IPv4 addresses available. The last available public IPv4 address available from the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) was issued in September 2015. IP Version 6 (IPv6) was created to address the issue of running out of IPv4 addresses. Instead of a short 32-bit address, IPv6 addresses have a much longer 128-bit address. The address comprises 8 groups of 16 bits, separated by colons.

To configure a static IPv6 address, select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and click Properties. By default, this is set to Obtain an IP Address Automatically and Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically. You can select Use the Following IPv6 Address and fill in the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway in the top half of the dialog box. Then select Use the Following DNS Server Addresses and fill in the preferred DNS servers in the bottom of the dialog box, and click OK. See Figure 2-7 for an example.
