Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator's Procedures

ProcedureEnable IPv6 Networking in Trusted Extensions

CIPSO options do not have an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) number to use in the IPv6 Option Type field of a packet. The entry that you set in this procedure supplies a number to use on the local network until IANA assigns a number for this option. Trusted Extensions disables IPv6 networking if this number is not defined.

To enable an IPv6 network in Trusted Extensions, you must add an entry in the /etc/system file.

  1. Type the following entry into the /etc/system file:


    set ip:ip6opt_ls = 0x0a
