How to Display IPv6 Information Through NIS

In this procedure, you use the ypmatch command to display IPv6 information through NIS:

1. Under your user account, type the following to display IPv6 addresses in NIS:

   % ypmatch hostname hosts ipnodes.byname

   The information about the specified hostname is displayed.

   Note –

   Oracle Solaris releases after Solaris 10 11/06 no longer include the ipnodes maps. The IPv6 functionality of ipnodes is now maintained in the hosts maps.

For Solaris 10 11/06 and earlier releases, the following sample shows the results of a ypmatch operation on the ipnodes.byname database.

% ypmatch farhost hosts ipnodes.byname
2001:0db8:3c4d:15:a00:20ff:fe12:5286       farhost
