IPv4
This term refers specifically to the legacy addressing standard of the internet. In technical discourse, it is almost always contrasted with IPv6, the newer version designed to solve the problem of address exhaustion.
Because it is a technical specification and a proper noun representing a specific protocol version, it is treated as a singular entity. It does not typically take a plural form in standard networking contexts, as one refers to the protocol itself or a specific address within that protocol.
Meanings

Check if the device has a valid IPv4 configuration.
Most home networks use NAT to manage IPv4 traffic.
Is the server still using an IPv4 address for the login?
The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is taking longer than expected.
