TOUR 2.0 Overview

Transport functionality is typically delivered as part of HP-UX. TOUR

(Transport Optional Upgrade Release) is an additional, fully supported

product bundle, available from the web, which delivers new transport

functionality and other networking functionality independent of major

HP-UX releases. Later versions of TOUR completely supersede previous

TOUR versions. All features available in a TOUR release will be rolled

into a later HP-UX release.

TOUR 2.0 is a web release that enables HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2

customers to obtain additional transport related functionality. It is

available from the HP software depot at http://www.software.hp.com

(search “TOUR”). TOUR 2.0 is supported for HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX

11i v2. (TOUR 1.0 only supported HP-UX 11i v1).

TOUR 2.0 uses an overlay model to install new features. It overlays all

the delivered ﬁles, libraries, commands, and scripts in both user space

and kernel space. TOUR 2.0 includes the following components:

• HP-UX Transport Enhancements (IPv4 and IPv6)

• HP-UX Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) enhancements: PPPoE and

PPPv6

• HP-UX Mobile IPv6 A.1.00

HP-UX 11i v1 IPv6 Additional Information

IPv6 functionality is not included in the default (base) version of HP-UX

11i v1. It is only available as a separate add-on product, from the web, as

part of TOUR 2.0. TOUR 2.0 supersedes TOUR 1.0 as well as the initial

HP-UX 11i v1 IPv6 product offering, IPv6NCF11i.

Transport enhancements delivered by TOUR 2.0 supersede base HP-UX

11i v1 transport functionality; HP-UX 11i v1 IPv6 transport delivered in

TOUR 2.0 supersedes that delivered in TOUR 1.0 and IPv6NCF11i.

To enable TOUR 2.0 IPv6 functionality on your HP-UX 11i v1 system,

you do not need to ﬁrst install either TOUR 1.0 or IPv6NCF11i. You can

obtain this functionality just by installing TOUR 2.0. If TOUR 1.0 or

IPv6NCF11i are already installed on your system, you can upgrade to

TOUR 2.0 just by installing TOUR 2.0.
