how can I use adb command with ipv6 address? I am using bash or zsh shell, and I am sure that remote adb server is up

cmd:

adb -H ffff:1111:1111:1:1:111:111:111 -P 27231 devices

result:

* cannot start server on remote host
adb: failed to check server version: cannot connect to daemon at tcp:xxxxxxxxx

To use adb with an IPv6 address, you need to properly format the address. Since expects an IPv6 address to be enclosed in square brackets ([]):

adb -H [ffff:1111:1111:1:1:111:111:111] -P 27231 devices

• IPv6 address text notation with prefix: inside or outside square brackets?
