        endpoint sbi 
            replicas replicas_count 
            loopbackPort port_number 
            instancetype { IPv4 { vip-ip ipv4_address vip-port ipv4_port } | IPv6 { vip-ipv6 ipv6_address vip-ipv6-port ipv6_port } } 
            end

         end

The following is an example configuration for IPv6.

config
   instance instance-id 1
      endpoint sbi
         replicas 2
         loopbackPort 1000
         instancetype IPv6 vip-ipv6 209:165:200:225::4 vip-ipv6-port 1001
