Modify IPv6 Network Settings From the Oracle ILOM CLI
Use this procedure to modify the server's IPv6 network settings using the Oracle
ILOM CLI.
To modify IPv4 network settings, see Modify IPv4 Network Settings From the Oracle ILOM CLI.
Note -
You can also change network settings using the BIOS Setup Utility. For
instructions, see the Sun Server X4-8 Service
Manual.
-
Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI. See:
Note -
If you log in to Oracle ILOM using an Ethernet connection, your connection
is terminated after you modify the network settings. You must log back in
using the new settings.
-
Use the cd command to navigate to the
SP/network/ipv6 directory:
-> cd SP/network/ipv6
-
Type the show command to view the IPv6 network settings
configured on the device.
For example:
-> show
/SP/network/ipv6
Targets:
Properties:
state = enabled
autoconfig = stateless
dhcpv6_server_duid = (none)
link_local_ipaddress = 2001:db8:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
static_ipaddress = ::/128
ipgateway = 2001:db8:211:5dff:febe:5000/128
pending_static_ipaddress = ::/128
pending_static_ipgateway = ::
dynamic_ipaddress_1 2001:db8:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
Commands:

To configure an IPv6 auto-configuration option, use the set
command to specify the following auto-configuration property values:
|
|
|
|
state
|
set state=enabled
|
Use the state parameter to enable or disable IPv6:
-
enabled: Enable IPv6
-
disabled: Disable IPv6
Note -
With SW 1.2 or newer, you can use set
/SP/network/state = ipv6-only to enable
IPv6 and disable IPv4.
Note -
Older versions of Oracle ILOM do not include the
ipv4-only or
ipv6-only commands. On these
versions, you cannot enable IPv6 if IPv4 is disabled. To
obtain the options shown here, upgrade to SW 1.2 or
newer.
|
|
autoconfig
|
set autoconfig=
<value>
|
Specify this command followed by the
autoconfig value you want to
set.
Options include:
-
stateless (default setting)
Automatically assigns IP address learned from IPv6
network router.
-
dhcpv6_stateless
Automatically assigns DNS information learned from
the DHCPv6 server.The
dhcpv6_stateless property value
is available in Oracle ILOM as of 3.0.14.
-
dhcpv6_stateful
Automatically assigns the IPv6 address learned
from the DHCPv6 server.The
dhcpv6_stateful property value
is available in Oracle ILOM as of 3.0.14.
-
disable
Disables all auto-configuration property values
and sets the read-only property value for link local
address.
|
|
Note -
The IPv6 configuration options take affect after they are set.
Note -
You can enable the stateless auto-configuration option
to run at the same time as the option for
dhcpv6_stateless or
dhcpv6_stateful is enabled. However, the
auto-configuration options for dhcpv6_stateless and
dhcpv6_stateful should not be enabled to run at the
same time.
-
To set a static IPv6 address, complete these steps:
-
Specify the following property types:
|
|
|
|
state
|
set state=enabled
|
The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To
enable a static IP address, you must set this state
to enabled.
|
|
pendingipaddress
|
set pending_static_ipaddress =
<ipv6_address>
/
<subnet mask length in
bits>
|
Type this command followed by the property value
for the static IPv6 address and netmask that you
want to assign to the device.
IPv6 address
example:2001:db8:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
|
|
-
Commit the pending IPv6 static network parameters by typing the
following command:
-> set /SP/network/commitpending=true
Note -
Pending settings remain pending until you commit them. Assigning a new
static IP address to the server ends all active Oracle ILOM sessions to the
server. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, create a new session using the newly
assigned IP address.
-
Test the IPv6 network configuration from Oracle ILOM using the Network Test
Tool (Ping6).
For details, see Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration From the Oracle ILOM CLI.
