IPv4 and IPv6 Addressing
The firmware supports the IPv4 and IPv6 address families. An IPv4 address is 32
bits, and consists of four blocks of decimal numbers, with each block separated by a
period. Each block can have up to three numbers. The single zero character
displayed in a block represents all zeroes for that block. An example of an IPv4
address is 255.255.255.0. All four blocks contain numbers.
