This section describes configuration utilities available to configure HP-UX 11i v1 IPv6 bundled as part of TOUR 2.0.

The ifconfig “inet6” Address Family

Use ifconfig to assign an IPv6 address to an interface and configure parameters, such as the network prefix. (In IPv6, prefix replaces netmask.)

The ifconfig keyword inet6 is required to configure IPv6 interfaces. It is not required to examine IPv6 interfaces. Refer to the ifconfig(1M) man page for details.

Neighbor Discovery Protocol Replaces arp in IPv6

The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (ndp) replaces arp in IPv6. Refer to “Neighbor Discovery” in Chapter 6 “ IPv6 Addressing and Concepts” for details.

The route “inet6” Option

route(1M) adds and deletes entries to the network routing table, allowing your system to communicate through a router. In IPv6, routing entries are automatically added when router advertisements are received from an IPv6 router.Refer to route(1m) for more information.
