following IPv6 options:
Table 1 Command-Line Options
Category Option Description
Daemon
Management
Options
exec6 exec-cmd Pass a script as an argument to this option.
This is invoked when the IPv6 interface
appears. This passes a script that, in turn,
invokes rtradvd.
router6 Specify this option for clearing, the private
flag, on the IPv6 interface being configured
by pppd. The private flag should be cleared
on an interface where router advertisement
messages will be sent.
noipv4 Specify this option to disable IPCP (NCP for
IPv4 over PPP) negotiation. No IPv4
datagram will pass through the link. You
need to specify this option to establish a
point-to-point link for IPv6 packets i.e., to
negotiate only IPV6CP messages.
NOTE: To look up the systems file, you
must specify the IPv4 destination address,
even if you wish to configure only IPv6
datagrams (by choosing the ipv6 and
noipv4) on the command line.
noipv6 Specify this option to disable IPV6CP
negotiation. No IPv6 datagram will pass
through the link. Specify this option when
you do not want to negotiate IPV6CP
messages sent by a peer pppd.
