HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 1M System Administration Commands A-M (vol 3)

ifconﬁg(1M) ifconﬁg(1M)

The tunnel_local_IPv6_address should be an address conﬁgured on the local system, and

tunnel_remote_IPv6_address should be an address conﬁgured on the remote system. The tunnel

conﬁguration should be done on both the local and the remote systems.

Example. On the local system:

# ifconfig ip6tu1 inet6 tunnel ip6inip6 fe80::1 fe80::2 \

tsrc 2ffe::1 tdst 3ffe::1 up

Example. On the remote system:

# ifconfig ip6tu1 inet6 tunnel ip6inip6 fe80::2 fe80::1 \

tsrc 3ffe::1 tdst 2ffe::1 up

6to4 tunnel interface conﬁguration

6to4 tunnel conﬁguration allows automatic tunneling of IPv6 packets encapsulated in an IPv4 header over

an IPv4 infrastructure.

6to4 tunnel interface can be conﬁgured as shown below:

ifconfig iptu1 inet6 tunnel 6to4 [6to4_primary_address]

tsrc

tunnel_local_IPv4_address

The tunnel_local_IPv4_address should be a global IPv4 address. The primary address of the

6to4 inter-

face should be a

6to4 address and not a link-local address. The 6to4 primary address is optional, if it is

not speciﬁed, a 6to4 address will be autoconﬁgured based on tunnel_local_IPv4_address.

Example:

# ifconfig iptu1 inet6 tunnel 6to4 tsrc 15.13.136.204 up

A 6to4 address can be manually assigned as shown below:

# ifconfig iptu1 inet6 tunnel 6to4 2002:f0d:88cc::1 \

tsrc 15.13.136.204 up

To advertise a 6to4 preﬁx, see rtradvd(1M).

DIAGNOSTICS

Messages indicate if the speciﬁed interface does not exist, the requested address is unknown, or the user is

not privileged and tried to alter an interface’s conﬁguration.

WARNINGS

The lanadmin, lanscan, and linkloop commands are deprecated. These commands will be removed

in a future HP-UX release. HP recommends the use of replacement command nwmgr(1M) to perform all

network interface-related tasks.
