Configuring IPv6 in the RAX200?

o I enabled IPv6 in my RAX200.  Everything looks ok and is working fine, however I'm not sure how to manually enter the DNS servers I prefer:

 

Cloudflare:   1.1.1.1

Google:   8.8.8.8

 

 

Cloudflare lists this as their IPv6 DNS:   2606:4700:4700::1111

Google lists this as their IPv6 DNS:    2001:4860:4860::8888

 

 

 

This is the RAX200's IPv6 page.  How do I enter the above DNS addresses in there?  There are eight blanks for primary and secondary, yet the addresses Cloudflare and Google provide are four sets of four characters.

    No like this:

     

    Cloudflare

    2606:4700:4700:0000:0000:0000:0000:1111 

    2606:4700:4700:0000:0000:0000:0000:1001 (Cloudflare Alternate)


    Google

    2001:4860:4860:0000:0000:0000:0000:8888

    2001:4860:4860:0000:0000:0000:0000:8844 (Google Alternate)

      Just place zeroes between the second to last and last set of 4 characters the double :: means you should place 0000s in between.

        So these:

         

        Cloudflare lists this as their IPv6 DNS:   2606:4700:4700::1111

        Google lists this as their IPv6 DNS:    2001:4860:4860::8888

         

         

        should be entered like this?

        Cloudflare:   2606:4700:4700:0000:1111

        Google:    2001:4860:4860:0000:8888

         

         

        That would still leave three blanks on each.
