HP-UX IPv6 Transport Administrator's Guide for TOUR 2.0 (April 2004)

Features Overview
IPv6 Transport (bundled as part of TOUR 2.0)
Chapter 1 7
• Network Configuration and Troubleshooting Utilities for both IPv4
and IPv6: ifconfig, netstat, ping, route, ndd, ndp
(neighbor-discovery command for IPv6 only) and traceroute.
There have also been enhancements to nettl and netfmt for
IPv6 tracing and formatting.
• New netconf-ipv6 file stores IPv6 settings. The
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 configuration file stores IPv6
configuration information similar to IPv4’s
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
• The /etc/hosts file now supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The
/etc/hosts file contains IP addresses and corresponding host
names. The file can contain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the same
host. Lookup policies are identical to IPv4.
• Name Service Switch: /etc/nsswitch.conf is a configuration file
for the name service switch. A new entity, ipnodes, specifies which
name services resolve IPv6 addresses and host names. Refer to the
nsswitch.conf(4) man page for more information.
• The following IPv6-capable Internet Services are included with
HP-UX 11i v1 IPv6 bundled as part of TOUR 2.0:
— inetd, Internet Services Daemon
