Two group of "0000"

Explanation:

IP addresses are of two types, they are, IP version 4 and IP version 6.

The IP version (IPv4) is a 32 bit logical address, identified or classified by a subnet mask. It has four octets (eight bit) separated by a dot, that makes up the 32 bit address.

The IPv6 is a 128 bit logical address, separated into hexadecimal values by a colon and classified by a prefix length.

The address,"2001::3210:800:200C:CF:1234", is meant to have eight divisions. But the rule of consecutive zero has been applied to it. The address should be, "2001:0000:0000:3210:800:200C:CF:1234".
