Using IPv6 address formats with Domino and Notes
You can use an IPv6 address as a string anywhere that an IPv4 address as a string can be used.

IPv4 addresses with port numbers are supported by the IBM® Notes® client and the IBM Domino® Web server in the following format:

1.2.3.4:1352

IPv6 addresses contain a varying number of colons; therefore, the syntax shown can not be used with IPv6 addresses. To be consistent with a proposed format for Web servers, if the port number is included with an IPv6 address, the address must be enclosed in square-style [ ] brackets.

The following address formats can be used wherever address strings are supported, for example, in Server documents, in the Open Application dialog box, or in the Port Trace dialog box.

9.95.77.78

9.95.77.78:1352

[9.95.77.78]

[9.95.77.78]:1352

fe80::290:27ff:fe43:16ac

[fe80::290:27ff:fe43:16ac]

[fe80::290:27ff:fe43:16ac]:1352
