32. Select the IPv6 tab to set IPv6 settings for this virtual interface.
IPv6 is the latest revision of the Internet Protocol (IP) designed to replace IPv4. IPV6 provides enhanced identification and
location information for computers on networks routing traffic across the Internet. IPv6 addresses are composed of eight
groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected
to an IPv6 network using the neighbor discovery protocol via ICMPv6 router discovery messages. When first connected to
a network, a host sends a link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers respond
to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains Internet layer configuration parameters
