SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/ip6_setup
DESCRIPTION
The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking soft‐
ware on your system.
To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the ques‐
tions: # ip6_setup
You must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your
network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
network. The network manager should be able to provide you with the
information that you need.
After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the sys‐
tem can be restarted manually with the following command: #
/usr/sbin/rcinet restart
Before you restart the network services with the preceding command,
warn the users that the network services on the system are being
removed. File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file
or the automount command must be unmounted with the umount command. You
must remount these file systems using the mount command after the net‐
work is started on your system.
Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command: #
/usr/sbin/shutdown -r now
