Conﬁguration

Manual Conﬁguration

Chapter 318

IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME[1]="lan0:1"

IPV6_ADDRESS[1]="2345::5432"

IPV6_PREFIXLEN[1]="64"

IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_STATE[1]="up"

DHCPV6_ENABLE[1]=0

Always set DHCPV6_ENABLE to 0.

For more information about specifying interface names for multiple

interfaces, refer to Chapter 6, “IPv6 Addressing and Concepts,” on

page 51.

Conﬁguring a Default IPv6 Route

In the absence of router advertisements, you can add the default IPv6

router information to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 ﬁle. The

routing conﬁguration parameters have an index value, [x], that groups

the routing parameters together.

A sample netconf-ipv6 ﬁle entry is as follows:

IPV6_DESTINATION[0]="default"

IPV6_GATEWAY[0]="2008:7:6:5:4:3:2:1"

IPV6_ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"

IPV6_ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

Enabling Tunneling

To enable tunneling set the IPV6_TUNNEL variable to 1.

A sample netconf-ipv6 ﬁle entry is as follows:

IPV6_TUNNEL="1"

Refer to the section on “Tunneling” on page 68 in Chapter 7 of this guide

for more information.

Creating a Conﬁgured Tunnel

If you regularly expect to exchange data between isolated IPv6 networks

over an IPv4 network, you may want to create a conﬁgured tunnel. Do

the following:

• Enable tunneling. Refer to “Enabling Tunneling” section above.

(Basically, set IPv6_TUNNEL variable to 1.)
