The BIG-IP system does not allow IPv4-mapped-IPv6 notation (with prefix length greater than 32) in tmsh or GUI. When trying to add '::ffff:0.0.0.0/96' to an address list or directly to a rule the system posts an error: Error parsing IP address: ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96.
Cannot successfully specify an IPv4-mapped-IPv6 block to be configured in AFM firewall rule (and possibly other AFM configurations as well).
-- IPv4-mapped-IPv6 notation in the configuration. -- Adding prefix length greater than 32.
To drop the IPv4-mapped-IPv6 block, enable the following DoS db variable: dos.dropv4mapped.
You can now use tmsh for IPv4-mapped-IPv6 notation with prefix length greater than 32.
