HP-UX IPv6 Transport Administrator's Guide for TOUR 1.0

Manual Configuration

• Assign the following parameters: destination IPv6 network, gateway
address (for configured tunnels this is an IPv4-compatible IPv6
address), route_count (if set to 1 the gateway is remote, if set to 0 the
gateway is local), and any route arguments (for configured tunnels,
specify the -t option). Refer to the commented text in the
netconf-ipv6 file and the route(1m) man page for more
information.
A sample netconf-ipv6 file entry is as follows:
IPV6_DESTINATION[0]=”C001::/64”
IPV6_GATEWAY[0]=”::192.1.1.1”
IPV6_ROUTE_COUNT[0]=”1”
IPV6_ROUTE_ARGS[0]=”-t”
Enabling rtradvd (Router Advertiser Daemon)
Background: The rtradvd daemon, is now available on HP-UX 11i IPv6
bundled as part of TOUR 1.0. When configured, it sends router
advertisement messages to a local LAN periodically, and, when
requested, by a node sending a router solicitation message. For more
information refer to the rtradvd(1M) man page.
Configuration for rtradvd is set, on a per interface basis, by editing the
/etc/rtradvd.conf file. The rtradvd.conf file allows for setting global
defaults as well as interface specific settings for both interface options
and prefixinfo specific options. Refer to the rtradvd.conf(4) man page
for more information.
Required Steps: To configure the HP-UX system to run rtradvd, and
enable the Router Advertisement functionality, the following steps must
be taken: the /etc/rtradvd.conf file must be edited as needed; the
“private” interface flag must be cleared (“-private” for each enabled
interface) and the rtradvd daemon must be enabled. More specifically:
• Edit the /etc/rtradvd.conf file as needed.
The example below shows the minimum configuration needed to
send router advertisement packets containing the prefix
2008:65::/64 on lan0.
