10. default for all the default options supported by the DHCPv6 2.001

client daemon. The default parameters are set during the invocation

of dhcpv6clientd, the dhcpv6 client daemon.

NOTE The client daemon must be running, when you execute the

dhcpv6client_ui interface.

For more information, type man 1 dhcpv6client_ui at the HP-UX

prompt.

The dhcpv6conﬁg Script

/sbin/dhcpv6config is a screen-oriented shell script that allows you to

conﬁgure an interface. You need to invoke dhcpv6config only once,

when you are installing DHCPv6 2.001 software.

Run the following command on the command line to invoke

dhcpv6config in the interactive mode:

$ /sbin/dhcpv6config [interactive | -i ]

Upon startup, the script checks the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6

ﬁle to check if the DHCPV6_ENABLE ﬂag is set to any non-zero value for

any interface. If the netconf-ipv6 ﬁle does not contain any such

interfaces, the dhcpv6config script prompts you to answer the following

questions:

1. Do you wish to use DHCPv6 to obtain networking information?

If you choose to use DHCPv6 2.001, a list of all the network interface

cards is displayed.

2. Enter the name of the lan interface you wish to conﬁgure followed by

[Enter] or just press [Enter] to select the default interface, for

example, lan4.

You can select any other interface, which you want to conﬁgure.

3. Do you wish to conﬁgure any other interface?

Press y to conﬁgure any other interface or n to quit.

The information about the interface that is conﬁgure will be written

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