IP environment

The probe can run in either IPv4 or IPv6 environments. You specify the environment using the Protocol property. When the probe is running in an IPv4 environment, set the Protocol property to TCP, UDP, ALL or ANY. When running in an IPv6 environment, set the Protocol property to TCP6, UDP6, or ALLIPV6.

Ensure that the IP address you specify in the BindAddress property is in a format that matches the protocol specified by the Protocol property.

TCP, UDP, ALL, or ANY

An address in IPv4 format. That is, an address in 32-bit decimal notation with four decimal numbers, separated by periods.

For example: 121.2.6.81

TCP6, UPD6, or ALLIPV6

An address in IPv6 format. That is an address in 128-bit hexadecimal notation with eight hexadecimal fields, separated by colons.

For example: 3ffe:ff9f:101::230:6eff:fe04:d9ff
