Internet and Networking
IPv6 Support
Chapter 6
153
• The audio subsystem has been enhanced to support IPv6. The audio subsystem
includes the Audio server (Aserver), asecure, and Audio libraries (libAlib.2,
libAlibkt.1 [32 and 64-bit], libAt.3). The libAlib.1 library does not support
IPv6.
For additional changes to CDE, see “Common Desktop Environment (CDE)” on page 249.
Impact
Although the terminal emulators hpterm and xterm have not been enhanced to use the
scalable utmps/wtmps/btmps services, the terminal emulator dtterm uses the scalable
utmps/wtmps/btmps services.
The terminal emulators hpterm and xterm do not support IPv6, but dtterm supports
IPv6 addressing.
Compatibility
CDE 2.1 is compatible with the IPv4 mode.
Performance
There are no performance issues
Documentation
The manpages of the following applications have been updated:
• dtspcd (CDE subprocess control service)
• xhost (server access control program for X)
• recserv ( HP SharedX Receiver Service)
For further information about IPv6, see “IPv6 Software Overview” on page 150.
For further information about CDE documentation, see “Common Desktop Environment
(CDE)” on page 249.
Obsolescence
Not applicable.
IPv6 Support by HP Openview Emanate Agent
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard
management protocol, originally designed for managing TCP/IP networks. SNMP is
described by a series of Request for Comments (RFCs) that specifies and structures the
information that is exchanged between managing and managed systems. Although
SNMP is used predominately in TCP/IP networks, its popularity has caused its use to be
extended to managing additional software and hardware products.
The Master SNMP Agent (/usr/sbin/snmpdm) and the collection of subagents that
would attach to the Master Agent collectively form a single SNMP agent. The SNMP
agent accepts SNMP Get, GetNext, and Set requests from an SNMP manager which
cause it to read or write the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB objects are
instrumented by the subagents.
