Bracketing IPv6 Addresses

You must enclose a literal IPv6 address in brackets “[” and “]” in URLs, URIs, or other syntax that allows the IP address to be followed by “:port”. Examples include schemes for HTTP, HTTPS, LDAP and LDAPS entries. The brackets around the IPv6 address are required to distinguish the beginning and end of the IPv6 address (which includes colons) from the colon used to identify the port.

Example:

http://[literal_IPv6_address]:port

Omit the brackets when entering an IPv6 address through the Core or Satellite Console pages or a configuration file where the field does not allow for a port entry.
