How To Configure IPv6 on Tru64 V5.1B System?

[Kazuho Tsuchida]

Hi all,

This is my first time I'm working on Tru64 UNIX and I need to setup IPv6 on this server.

# sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Tue Jan 3 15:04:43 EST 2006

Now, I can manually assign a global IPv6 address and configure routes with the ifconfig and route commands, but this information does not stay permanent. After rebooting the server, it's gone. For IPv6 address and route information to stay permanent, which file(s) do I need to modify? Or is there any other commands to do this task?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I've never done it, but I'd have thought that if you configure things through sysman that the relevant files would be updated.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

Hi,

Thanks for your input. I tried sysman -> Networking and looked through all subcategories but didn't see any options for the IPv6 setup. Maybe I'm missing something? Any other inputs...?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't done this, but there's documentation in the Network Administration: Connections manual, Chapter 3

Thanks for the reply. It seems the site has been down for last couple of days (or I don't have access to it) I keep getting "Gateway Timeout" Anyhow, I'll keep trying and see if there is any documentaion for ipv6 stuff.

I'll keep you posted.

thank you guys.

Try this one:

Then look at section 3.1.3.2

good luck

Thanks Ann Majeske and Al Licause. Ann's reply gave me the commnd (/usr/sbin/ip6_setup) to configure IPv6 on my server (even after reboot, IPv6 info stayed on). Al's reply was close but wasn't enough to keep IPv6 info stay on after each reboot.

Thanks all for your replies.
