IP literal address

Consider these points when using IP literal address:
  • Use of IPv6 literal addresses in HTTP URLs is defined by Internet Standard RFC 2732
  • Database URL formats are specific to the JDBC Driver provider. See provider specific documentation on how to define the Database URL when using IP literal addresses, though here are some typical values of Database URL for the IBM® Db2® universal JDBC driver:
    • Standard server name - jdbc:db2://www.example.com:50000/DB
    • IPv4 literal address - jdbc:db2://8.4.5.6:50000/DB
    • IPv6 literal address - jdbc:db2://[fe80::20c:29ff:feea:1361]:50000/DB
