DUAL Mode, Ethernet Failover
This example shows that:
•
When the monitors are configured for DUAL mode, the NonStop TCP/IPv6
subsystem automatically adds a tunnel for IPv4-network communications. The
tunnel is a SUBNET named TUN of TYPE TUNNEL. As soon as an IPv4 SUBNET is
added to the system, this tunnel becomes operational and applications selecting a
TCP6SAM process can communicate over both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. As this
process is automated, in the examples in Section 1, Quick Start, you do not see
the explicit addition of a tunnel SUBNET.
•
The examples in Section 1, Quick Start all use Stateless address
autoconfiguration. When using NonStop TCP/IPv6 in DUAL mode, you must
assign an IPv4 IP address to the SUBNET but the IPv6 addresses are
automatically assigned.
•
The host automatically assigns IPv6 link-local addresses to all SUBNETs and, as
long as a router that supports the Neighbor Discovery Protocol
is available on the
network, the host also assigns IPv6 global addresses.
•
The IPV6RAENABLE ON attribute enables router advertisements on the SUBNET,
which allows the host to build the global IPv6 address from the router
advertisement (RA) received from the router.
DUAL Mode, Ethernet Failover
Example 1-8 on page 1-17 shows how to configure a DUAL-mode SUBNET
(supporting IPv4 and IPv6 networks) with Ethernet failover, shared IP. This
configuration is shown in Figure 5-3.
