Quick Start

CIDR Block Types

IPv4: When you create a VPC and subnet, IPv4 CIDR block is used by default. Servers on the IPv4 network cannot access IPv6 services on the Internet or provide services accessible from users using an IPv6 client. For details about how to set up an IPv4 network, see Setting Up an IPv4 Network.

IPv6: When you need to access the IPv6 services on the Internet or provide services accessible from users using an IPv6 client, you need to enable the IPv6 function. After the IPv6 function is enabled, you can provide services for users using an IPv4 or IPv6 client. For details about how to set up an IPv6 network, see Setting Up an IPv6 Network.
