addresses and some other parameters automatically without manual
intervention. They can also choose a default router based on these
advertisements.

Using PPPv6
After you install the TOUR 1.0 software package, you need to complete
the following steps to obtain an IP address using the stateless or stateful
autoconfiguration method:
• If you are an rtradvd user, modify the sample script,
/etc/ppp/Exec6.rtradvd.ex, according to your configuration
requirements for obtaining a global address.
• Run pppd on the command line with the exec6 option as follows:
/usr/bin/pppd exec6 <name and path of the script>
where <name and path of the script> is
/etc/ppp/Exec6.rtradvd.ex or a script of your choice.
pppd executes this script, which invokes the IPv6 autoconfiguration
daemons that assign an address to a PPP end-point. For more
information on the rtradvd options specified in the sample script,
type man 4 rtradvd.conf or type man 1m rtradvd at the HP-UX
command prompt.
