Cause

Customer environment is using IPv6 protocol.

Resolving The Problem

Update environment to use IpV4 or update Cognos Configuration to use IPv6 protocol.
IBM® Cognos® products support two IP address versions: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 uses 32-bit IP addresses and IPv6 uses 128-bit IP addresses.
For example:
    IPv4: 192.168.0.1:80
    IPv6: [2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:148:57ab]:80
