What Is in This Document
This manual provides information for administering HP-UX 11i v3 IPv6 transport software.
HP-UX 11i v3 IPv6 transport software uses the next generation Internet Protocol (IPv6) to
connect HP-UX Servers and Workstations with other systems running IPv4 or IPv6 over
IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, or FDDI Local Area Networks. An IPv6 for HP-UX 11i v3 network
can extend over routers into a Wide Area Network (WAN).
This manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 Features Overview provides a summary and overview of IPv6 features
offered in HP-UX 11i v3.
Chapter 2 Configuration describes how to automatically or manually configure
HP-UX 11i v3 IPv6 transport.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting provides flowcharts to help diagnose HP-UX 11i v3
IPv6 software problems.
Chapter 4 Utilities describes useful tools for configuring, and maintaining HP-UX
11i v3 IPv6 software.
Chapter 5 IPv6 Addressing and Concepts describes IPv6 addressing and provides
some basic IPv6 networking terminology.
Chapter 6 IPv6 Software and Interface Technology discusses IPv6 deployment and
migration.
Appendix A IPv6 ndd Tunable Parameters provides a list of supported ndd IPv6
tunable parameters that allow for advanced performance tuning.
If you are unfamiliar with IPv6 networking concepts, refer to Chapter 4: “ IPv6 Addressing
and Concepts” (page 46) and Chapter 5: “IPv6 Software and Interface Technology”
(page 53), before configuring IPv6 interfaces.
HP-UX Release Name and Release Identifier
Each HP-UX 11i release has an associated release name and release identifier.
Theuname(1) command with the -r option returns the release identifier. This table shows
the releases available for HP-UX 11i.
