Advanced IPV6


  • To set up multipathing using configuration files, the interface hme0 and the multicast group ip6test , edit /etc/hostname6.hme0 and add the following entry:

     -failover group ip6test up 
  • To set up multipathing using the command line:

     ultra10# ifconfig hme0 group ip6test ultra10# ifconfig hme0 inet6 -failover 
  • There is no need to mark interfaces as deprecated .

  • Configure a tunnel on each system:

     systemA# ifconfig ip.tun0 inet6 plumb tsrc 192.168.23.23  \ tdst 192.168.29.24 up systemB# ifconfig ip.tun0 inet6 plumb tsrc 192.168.29.24  \ tdst 192.168.23.23 up 

    Use ping to verify the tunnel is working.

  • Remove a tunnel using ifconfig just as you remove any other interface.

  • A routing entry is added automatically when a tunnel is created. Verify the IPv6 routing table using netstat “r “f inet6 .

  • IPv6 multipathing errors go to /var/adm/messages .

  • Use ifconfig “a to diagnose problems with tunnels and to verify the configuration.

  • Troubleshoot IPv6 using ping , ifconfig , and traceroute .
