9.8 Configuring IPv6 Routers
Before you configure IPv6 routers, consider the following points:
_____________________ Decision Point _____________________
Identify the interfaces over which to run IPv6.
Decide whether you need a configured IPv4 tunnel for
communications with other IPv6 nodes or networks. You will need
the remote node’s IPv4 address (the remote end of the tunnel) and
your node’s IPv4 address (this end of the tunnel).
Decide whether you want to configure static routes. You might want
to configure static routes if one of the following conditions is true:
– You want a configured tunnel and you are not advertising an
address prefix on the tunnel link.
– You want a configured tunnel and the router on the other end of
the tunnel is not running the RIPng protocol.
– Your system is not running the RIPng protocol.
Identify the interface (LAN, SLIP, or configured tunnel) on which
you want to run the RIPng protocol or to advertise an address
prefix. If you choose the latter, you must decide on the address
prefix to advertise.

IPv6 manual.
9.9 Configuring IPv6 Hosts
Before you configure an IPv6 host, consider the following points:
_____________________ Decision Point _____________________
Identify the interfaces over which to run IPv6.
Decide whether you need a configured IPv4 tunnel for
communications with other IPv6 nodes or networks. You will need
the remote node’s IPv4 address (the remote end of the tunnel) and
your node’s IPv4 address (this end of the tunnel).
Decide whether you want to configure static routes. You might
want to configure static routes if you want a configured tunnel to
a router and the router is not advertising itself as a default router
on the tunnel link.
