Specify a static IPv6 address for the <<container|pod>>, for example **fd46:db93:aa76:ac37::10**.
This option can only be used if the <<container|pod>> is joined to only a single network - i.e.,
<< '**Network=network-name**' if is_quadlet else '**--network=network-name**' >> is used at most once -
and if the <<container|pod>> is not joining another container's network namespace via
<< '**Network=container:_id_**' if is_quadlet else '**--network=container:_id_**' >>.
The address must be within the network's IPv6 address pool.

To specify multiple static IPv6 addresses per <<container|pod>>, set multiple networks using the
<< '**Network=**' if is_quadlet else '**--network' >> option with a static IPv6 address
specified for each using the `ip6` mode for that option.
