Configuration Utilities
This section describes configuration utilities available to configure
HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6 in 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 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” on page 59 in Chapter 6 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. A configured tunnel route can be added
using the route utility. Refer to route(1m) for more information.
