This manual provides information for administering HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 transport software bundled as part of TOUR 2.0. HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 transport software uses the next generation Internet Protocol (IPv6) to connect HP-UX Servers and Workstations with other systems running IPv4 or IPv6 over IEEE 802.3, Ethernet or FDDI Local Area Networks. An IPv6 for HP-UX 11i v2 network can extend over routers into a Wide Area Network.

This manual is organized as follows:

Chapter 1: Features Overview provides a summary and overview of new IPv6 features offered in HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 transport bundled as part of TOUR 2.0. It also includes IPv6 features supported in TOUR 2.0 that have been present since the base (default) HP-UX 11i v2 release (not new to TOUR 2.0).
Chapter 2: Installation provides the system requirements and the procedures necessary to install HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 bundled as part of TOUR 2.0.
Chapter 3: Configuration describes how to automatically or manually configure HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 transport bundled as part of TOUR 2.0.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting provides flowcharts to help diagnose HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 software problems.
Chapter 5: Utilities describes useful tools for installing, configuring, and maintaining HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 software.
Chapter 6: IPv6 Addressing and Concepts describes IPv6 addressing and provides some basic IPv6 networking terminology.
Chapter 7: IPv6 Software and Interface Technology discusses IPv6 deployment and migration.
Appendix A: IPv6 ndd Tunable Parameters: provides a list of supported ndd IPv6 tunable parameters that allow for advanced performance tuning.

If you are unfamiliar with IPv6 networking concepts, refer to Chapter 6 “ IPv6 Addressing and Concepts” and Chapter 7 “IPv6 Software and Interface Technology”, before configuring IPv6 interfaces.
