Configuring IPv6 Interfaces and Addresses

To edit the netconf-ipv6 file and to activate the configuration, you must have superuser capabilities.

The netconf-ipv6 file and the script that is executed are shell programs; therefore, shell programming rules apply.

To activate the netconf-ipv6 configuration, you must either reboot the system or use ifconfig, route commands with appropriate equivalent values. (Note: ifconfig and route configuration changes are ephemeral and do not permeate across reboots.) Refer to the “Activating netconf-ipv6 file Configuration” for more information.

To configure HP-UX 11i v1 IPv6, bundled as part of TOUR 2.0, you may use SAM. You will need to download the latest HP-UX 11i v1 SAM patch (PHCO_24118 or later.) Open SAM, proceed to the “Networking and Communications” area and navigate (proceed) as needed for your configuration tasks (Network Interface Cards, Name Service Switch, Hosts).

	NOTE: SAM has not been enhanced to support the tunneling enhancements available with TOUR 2.0. TOUR 2.0 tunnel configuration must be done by editing the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 file or by using the ifconfig command.

setparms has not been enhanced to support IPv6 configuration.
