Managing HP Serviceguard A.11.20.20 for Linux, May 2013

D.3.1 Enabling IPv6 on Red Hat Linux
Add the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes # Enable global IPv6 initialization
IPV6FORWARDING=no # Disable global IPv6 forwarding
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no # Disable global IPv6 autoconfiguration
IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=no # Disable automatic IPv6 tunneling
D.3.2 Adding persistent IPv6 Addresses on Red Hat Linux
This can be done by modifying the system configuration script, for example, /etc/sysconfig/
network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:
DEVICE=eth1BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=3ffe:ffff:0000:f101::10/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=fec0:0:0:1::10/64
IPV6_MTU=1280
D.3.3 Configuring a Channel Bonding Interface with Persistent IPv6 Addresses on
Red Hat Linux
Configure the following parameters in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0:
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=12.12.12.12
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=12.12.12.0
BROADCAST=12.12.12.255
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=3ffe:ffff:0000:f101::10/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=fec0:0:0:1::10/64
IPV6_MTU=1280
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
Add the following two lines to /etc/modprobe.conf to cause the bonding driver to be loaded
on reboot:
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1 # active-backup mode
D.3.4 Adding Persistent IPv6 Addresses on SUSE
This can be done by modifying the system configuration script, for example, /etc/sysconfig/
network/ifcfg-eth1:
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=10.10.18.255
IPADDR=10.10.18.18
MTU=""
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.10.18.0
REMOTE_IPADDR=""
STARTMODE=onboot
IPADDR1=3ffe::f101:10/64
IPADDR2=fec0:0:0:1::10/64
