DL380 G4: IPCONFIG /all show hexadecimal (or IPv6) numbers for IP address

[Trimaine McFadden]

I just recently had my systemboard replaced on Proliant DL380 G4 server. When I do an IPCONFIG /all I am receiving the following:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : HP NC7782 Gigabit Server Adapter #2
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-14-38-C0-35-3B
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.75.102.20

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.76.102.1

10.72.102.2
fec0:0:0:ffff::1%2
fec0:0:0:ffff::2%2
fec0:0:0:ffff::3%2

I am also seeing that IPv6 is enabled as one of the network connection properties as well as TCP/IP. Does anyone know what this means? Do I maybe need to check the NIC card driver?

Hi Trimaine:

there is a customer advisory from HP that I found:
