Your system supports IPv6 as well as IPv4. So does XProtect Smart Client.
IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP). The Internet protocol determines the format and use of IP addresses. IPv6 coexists with the still much more widely used IP version IPv4. IPv6 was developed in order to solve the address exhaustion of IPv4. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit long, whereas IPv4 addresses are only 32-bit long.
It meant that the Internet's address book grew from 4.3 billion unique addresses to 340 undecillion (340 trillion trillion trillion) addresses. A growth factor of 79 octillion (billion billion billion).
More and more organizations are implementing IPv6 on their networks. For example, all US federal agency infrastructures are required to be IPv6 compliant. Examples and illustrations in this manual reflect use of IPv4 because this is still the most widely used IP version. IPv6 works equally well with the system.
