When coming from an application software release prior to SBC 3.1.x, an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address is applied as an unusable placeholder in the IPv6 management address, this mapped address must be removed or set to a valid IPv6 address when updating the management addresses via BMC.
Once you update a new Management IP address from the BMC and click Save, a warning message displays informing you to reinstall the SBC application software.
