Description

This issue references the existing document, "Network Configuration."

This document explains setting up a basic NetworkManager configuration with Rocky Linux, using IPv4. According to SiteGround.com, "the primary difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is that IPv4 uses a 32-bit address while IPv6 employs a 128-bit address." This allows one to use a wider range of IP addresses in setting up the network.

We invite a community member to update or add instructions in the existing document for using this new functionality.

As part of this update, please add the tag "IPv6" to the meta information.
