For our network, the IPv4 range is 192.168.206.0/24, and for the IPv6 to provide some easy-to-remember addressing, we will use 2001:dba:ce::/64. The server in this example has an IPv4 address of 192.168.206.31, and its corresponding IPv6 address will be 2001:dba:ce::1f/64. To configure the address, follow these steps:
