HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes (October 2003)

Internet and Networking
IPv6 Support
Chapter 6
154
The HP Openview Emanate Agent, version 15.3, installs the Master Agent snmpdm,
along with the subagents hp_unixagt, mib2agt, trapdestagt, and ipv6agt on the
HP-UX 11i v2 machine.
Summary of Change
• Since HP-UX 11i v2 comes with an IPv6 protocol stack installed, the OS contains the
relevant MIB support with the IPv6 subagent, ipv6agt. The installed files related to
the IPv6 SNMP subagent are as follows:
— /usr/sbin/ipv6agt
— /sbin/init.d/SnmpIpv6
— /etc/rc.config.d/SnmpIpv6
•The snmpd script is responsible for starting the ipv6agt also, apart from the other
subagents.
• As part of the IPv6 stack, the following Request for Comments (RFCs) are supported:
— RFC 2452
— RFC 2454
— RFC 2465
— RFC 2466
Impact
If the IPv6 stack is enabled, the snmpd script will start the IPv6 subagent, ipv6agt,
apart from the other subagents, hp_unixagt, mib2agt, trapdestagt.
Compatibility
There are no compatibility issues.
Performance
There are no performance issues
Documentation
The snmpdm (1m) manpage has been changed to include IPv6 subagent-related
information.
Obsolescence
Not applicable.
IPv6 Support by HP-UX libc and HP-UX Commands
The system C library, libc, provides the interface between the user program and the
kernel. (This section covers libc changes to support IPv6. For other changes to libc, see
“AutoFS” on page 110.)
