Add a syntactically valid IPv6 address.  2001:1890:1C04:3000:0CB7:4432
is NOT a valid IPv6 address.  It's missing 32 bits of the address.

Did you mean 2001:1890:1C04:3000::0CB7:4432 perhaps as you seem to
be encoding the IPv4 addresses in the last 32 bits?  Note the
double "::" signifying 32 zero bits in this case.
