That's not an address, that's a whole fucking subnet consisting of 2^64 different addresses. ☝️🤓
It is a single address with an associated subnet mask, indicating what subnet the address is in.
The subnet would be 3fff:a1:1ab:bc67::/64, for the top one.
I'll see you in court.
Maybe but I always have to enter /24 after setting a VM's manual IP for it to be valid
That would depend on the network environment. If your VM is on a /28 subnet and you set /24 it won't be valid
