You are a network technician for a small corporate network. The network uses IPv4, but you want to begin using some Windows Server 2008 R2 features that require IPv6. Before you can begin to implement these features, the computer in the Networking Closet (named Server) needs a static IPv6 address.
Your task in this lab is to configure the Local Area Connection network adapter on Server with the following IPv6 addresses:
- Use FC00:1234:5678:9ABC::10 as the IPv6 address.
- Use 64 as the subnet prefix length.
- Use FC00:1234:5678:9ABC::5 as the Default gateway.
Use 2001:1234:5678:9DEF::108 for the DNS Server address.
