Techpreview_Networking_Ipv6_IPv6AddressReadOnly
Ipv6.IPv6AddressReadOnly structure Structure that you can use to get information about an IPv6 address along with its origin and status. Note: This structure is restricted for VMware internal use only.
{
"address": "string",
"prefix": 0,
"origin": "string",
"status": "string"
}IPv6 address, for example, fc00:10:20:83:20c:29ff:fe94:bb5a.
IPv6 CIDR prefix, for example, 64.
Ipv6.IPv6AddressOrigin enumerated type Defines IPv6 address origin values. Note: This enumeration is restricted for VMware internal use only.
dhcp : The IPv6 address is assigned by a DHCP server. See RFC 4293.
random : The IPv6 address is assigned randomly by the system. See RFC 4293.
manual : The IPv6 address was manually configured to a specified address, for, example, by user configuration. See RFC 4293.
other : The IPv6 address is assigned by a mechanism other than manual, DHCP, SLAAC, or random. See RFC 4293.
linklayer : The IPv6 address is assigned by IPv6 Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC). See RFC 4293.
Ipv6.IPv6AddressStatus enumerated type Defines IPv6 address status values. Note: This enumeration is restricted for VMware internal use only.
tentative : This IPv6 address is in the process of being verified as unique. Do not use addresses in this state for general communication. You can use them to determine the uniqueness of the address. See RFC 4293.
unknown : The status of this address cannot be determined. See RFC 4293.
inaccessible : This IPv6 address is inaccessible because the interface to which this address is assigned is not operational. See RFC 4293.
invalid : This IPv6 address is not a valid address. It should not appear as the destination or source address of a packet. See RFC 4293.
duplicate : This IPv6 address is not unique on the link. Do use this IPv6 address. See RFC 4293.
preferred : This is a valid IPv6 address that can appear as the destination or source address of a packet. See RFC 4293.
deprecated : This is a valid but deprecated IPv6 address. Do not use this IPv6 address as a source address in new communications, although packets addressed to such an address are processed as expected. See RFC 4293.
optimistic : This IPv6 address is available for use, subject to restrictions, while its uniqueness on a link is being verified. See RFC 4293.
