HP-UX IP Address and Client Management Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3

-t
Gets the temporary IPv6 addresses from the DHCPv6 client daemon.
-T
Gets both temporary and permanent IPv6 addresses from the client daemon.
-I
Request only the configuration parameters. Do not get IPv6 addresses.
If you do not specify the -t or -T, dhcpv6client_ui obtains only permanent IPv6 addresses.
The options for [-o] to specify various configuration parameters for an interface are as follows:
• dns_sa for DNS server address
• dns_dl for DNS domain list
• sip_sa for SIP server address
• sip_dl for SIP domain list
• nis_sa for a list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS servers available to the client.
• nis_dl for the NIS domain name of the client.
• all for all the above options
• default for all the default options supported by the DHCPv6 client daemon. The default
parameters are set during the invocation of dhcpv6clientd, the DHCPv6 client daemon.
NOTE: The client daemon must be running, when you execute the dhcpv6client_ui interface.
For more information, type man 1 dhcpv6client_ui at the HP-UX prompt.
The dhcpv6config Script
/sbin/dhcpv6config is a screen-oriented shell script that allows you to configure an interface.
You need to invoke dhcpv6config only once, when you are installing DHCPv6 software.
Run the following command on the command line to invoke dhcpv6config in the interactive
mode:
$ /sbin/dhcpv6config
[interactive | -i]
Upon startup, the script checks the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 file to check if the
DHCPV6_ENABLE flag is set to any non-zero value for any interface. If the netconf-ipv6 file
does not contain any such interfaces, the dhcpv6config script prompts you to answer the
following questions:
1. Do you wish to use DHCPv6 to obtain networking information?
If you wish to use DHCPv6, a list of all the network interface cards displays.
2. Enter the name of the lan interface you would like to configure followed by [Enter] or
just press [Enter] to select the default interface, for example, lan4.
Select the name of the lan interface and press [Enter]. You can select any other interface
that needs to be configured.
3. Do you wish to configure any other interface?
Press [y] to configure any other interface or [n] to quit.
The information about the interface that is configured is written to the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 file.
The /sbin/dhspc6config script also checks whether dhcpv6clientd is already running
on the system. If it is not running, the script invokes the client daemon.
4. The following message is displayed while the script invokes the client daemon:
Starting dhcpv6clientd...
