Provide the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a NTP server
IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight fields of
up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon Enabled n separating
each field (:)
. For example, 'fe80:: 215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'. The symbol '::' is a
special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of

can appear only once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4
address. For example, ':: 192.1.2.34'.
