Syntax of 6to4relay

The 6to4relay command has the following syntax:

6to4relay -e [-a IPv4-address] -d -h

-e

Enables support for tunnels between the 6to4 router and an anycast 6to4 relay router. The tunnel endpoint address is then set to 192.88.99.1, the default address for the anycast group of 6to4 relay routers.

-a IPv4-address

Enables support for tunnels between the 6to4 router and a 6to4 relay router with the specified IPv4-address.

-d

Disables support for tunneling to the 6to4 relay router, the default for the Solaris OS.

-h

Displays help for 6to4relay.

For more information, refer to the 6to4relay(1M) man page.

Example 10–3 Default Status Display of 6to4 Relay Router Support

The 6to4relay command, without arguments, shows the current status of 6to4 relay router support. This example shows the default for the Solaris OS implementation of IPv6.

# /usr/sbin/6to4relay
6to4relay:6to4 Relay Router communication support is disabled

Example 10–4 Status Display With 6to4 Relay Router Support Enabled

If relay router support is enabled, 6to4relay displays the following output:

# /usr/sbin/6to4relay
6to4relay:6to4 Relay Router communication support is enabled
IPv4 destination address of Relay Router=192.88.99.1

Example 10–5 Status Display With a 6to4 Relay Router Specified

If you specify the -a option and an IPv4 address to the 6to4relay command, the IPv4 address that you give with -a is displayed instead of 192.88.99.1.

6to4relay does not report successful execution of the -d, -e, and-a IPv4 address options. However, 6to4relay does display any error messages that might be generated when you run these options.
