ipv6 address
The <ipv6 address> inspectors deal with the Internet Protocol addressing scheme, version 6. Note: Prior to version 8.0 of BigFix, this was not a derived type.

8.1.535.0 | Debian, Ubuntu |
9.5.13.130 | Raspbian |
Creation
Returns the specified IPv4 address embedded in a IPv6 address as defined by RFC 4291 section 2.5.5. In this scheme the lowest 32 bits of the IPv6 address contain the IPv4 address, the next higher 16 bits are all 1
and the remaining bits are all 0
.
- Q: ipv4 address "192.168.56.3" as ipv6 address
- A: 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:c0a8:3803

Properties
Returns one of the eight 16-bit parts (hexadecets) of an IPv6 address specified by <integer>. Here zero refers to the highest hexadecet (network or big-endian order). Thus hexadecet 0 refers to the most-significant 16-bits of the 128 bit IPv6 address.

Returns the lowest 32-bits of the IPv6 address as an IPv4 address.As of version 8.0, this inspector type is derived from an <ipv4or6 address> type.

Casts
Returns a string representation of the IPv6 address in the form x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where each x represents one to four hexadecimal digits of the eight 16-bit address fields. Leading zeros in an individual field are omitted. See RFC 4291 section 2.2, item 1.

Operators
Returns True
if the IP address range represented by the CIDR subnet contains the specified IPv6 address.
- Q: cidr subnet "C665:4BF6:F578:BA18:153D:F3AD:6270:52C6/128" contains ipv6 address "C665:4BF6:F578:BA18:153D:F3AD:6270:52C6"
- A: True
