This chapter contains tasks for administering a TCP/IP network. The following topics are covered:
Note - To monitor network interfaces, see Monitoring the Interface Configuration With the ifconfig Command.
The tasks assume that you have an operational TCP/IP network at your site, either IPv4-only or dual-stack IPv4/IPv6. If you want to implement IPv6 at your site but have not done so, refer to following chapters for more information:
To plan an IPv6 implementation, refer to Chapter 4, Planning an IPv6 Network (Tasks).
To configure IPv6 and create a dual-stack network environment, refer to Chapter 7, Configuring an IPv6 Network (Tasks).
