IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME[1]="lan0:1"

IPV6_ADDRESS[1]="2345::5432"

IPV6_PREFIXLEN[1]="64"

IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_STATE[1]="up"

DHCPV6_ENABLE[1]=0

Always set DHCPV6_ENABLE to 0.

For more information about specifying interface names for multiple

interfaces, refer to Chapter 6, “IPv6 Addressing and Concepts,” on

page 55.

Conﬁguring a Default IPv6 Route

In the absence of router advertisements, you can add the default IPv6

router information to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 ﬁle. The

routing conﬁguration parameters have an index value, [x], that groups

the routing parameters together.

A sample netconf-ipv6 ﬁle entry is as follows:

IPV6_DESTINATION[0]="default"

IPV6_GATEWAY[0]="2008:7:6:5:4:3:2:1"

IPV6_ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"

IPV6_ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

Tunneling

TOUR 2.0 provides several important changes to tunneling from in base

(default) HP-UX 11i v2 IPv6. If you have previously set up any tunneling

on your HP-UX 11i v2 system(s) you will need to be aware of these

differences. Highlights of these changes are:

— Conﬁgured tunneling is point-to-point with an address assigned to

both tunnel endpoints. As a result, you can no longer use the route

command to conﬁgure a tunnel. You must use ifconfig and

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6, and be aware that the tunneling

parameters have changed.

— Starting with TOUR 2.0, the HP-UX server can be conﬁgured as a

router in both point-to-point conﬁgured tunnels and in

point-to-multipoint “6to4” tunnels. Prior to TOUR 2.0, the HP-UX

11i v2 node would only perform as a “6to4” host” not as a “6to4”

router. Parameters for “6to4” router conﬁguration are in ifconfig

and in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6.
