ndd config file for ipv6

[john guardian]

Does the IPv6 bundle IPv6NCF11i include a config file for using ndd w/IPv6? /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf for IPv4 contains params that are applied at bootup. Is there a similar config file for IPv6 when using/setting ndd params or is the same file used and simply populated w/IPv6 params/settings?

Thx.

nss is used to tune any network parameter so the default is nothing except a few comments in the file. Here are the IPv6 parameters that could be added to the ndd.conf file:

ndd -h | grep ip6

OK Bill. So I'm assuming that you meant to type ndd and not nss?

Also, my other assumption is that the nddconf file is not named differently for IPv6?

Thx.

Sorry about nss. Someone moved my keyboard. For ndd, all parameters go in a single file. The executable program (ndd) knows all about IPv4 and IPv6 so the config file can have nothing but comments (the default) or any parameters that need to be tuned.

It is a good practice to manually change the value(s) before adding them to ndd.conf. That way you can test the setting and the results before rebooting.
