Converting IPv4 address into IPv6 Address.

 

This is pretty straight forward and its obviously involves HEX conversion.

 

Here, I will convert the address 192.168.25.234

 

First we divide each octet by 16 and write down the remainder, primary school math! :)

192 ÷ 16 = 12 remainder 0
168 ÷ 16 = 10 remainder 8
25 ÷ 16 = 1 remainder 9
234 ÷ 16 = 14 remainder 10

 

We also know that HEX has the following Values

A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15

 

So we can write 192.168.25.234 into HEX like so… C0A8:19EA

 

Now we will change the HEX Address C0A8:19EA into regular IPv4

C0 = (12 x 16) + 0 = 192
A8 = (10 x 16) + 8 = 168
19 = (1 x 16) + 9 = 25
EA = (14 x 16) + 10 = 234
