Ethernet and FDDI links; IPv6 stateless address auto configuration; IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery; network configuration and troubleshooting utilities; name service switch,
and more.
• IPv6 Support by Common Desktop Environment (CDE): CDE 2.1 supports IPv6, in
addition to IPv4.
• IPv6 Support by HP Openview Emanate Agent: Relevant MIB support with the IPv6
subagent, ipv6agt. RFCs supported as part of the IPv6 stack.
• IPv6 Support by HP-UX libc and HP-UX Commands: While providing support for
IPv6, new solution addresses previous performance and feature scalability problems.
New daemon and library introduced to manage user accounting. Various commands
modified and options added to support IPv6. Solution speeds response time for users
to log in to large server systems which support a large number of users/login
sessions.
• Kernel Logging: Deprecated. Will not be supported post-HP-UX 11i v2.
• LAN Commands
— Local Area Network Administration Program (lanadmin): New options added.
Now supports third-party LAN drivers.

—The lanscan Command: New option added. Can no longer be used to read from
crash dumps.
• Network Information Service Plus (NIS+): Deprecated. HP-UX 11i v2 is the last
release to support NIS+. HP will introduce a migration strategy to facilitate move

•Networking libc APIs getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo(): Both functions have

•Networking libc APIs getipnodebyname() and getipnodebyaddr(): Deprecated.
Both functions not supported post-HP-UX 11i v2. In applications, the APIs
getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions should be used instead.
•The nslookup Program: Extended to follow the configured host name resolution
algorithm and to query NIS, DNS, and host tables.
• Router Discovery Protocol Daemon (rdpd): Obsolete. Functionality has been
