IPv6 Router Configuration (Task Map)
Perform the next tasks in the following table in order that is shown to configure the IPv6 network. The table includes a description of what each task accomplishes and the section in the current documentation where the specific steps to perform the task are detailed.
|
Task |
Description |
For Instructions |
|---|---|---|
|
1. Ensure that you have completed the required prerequisites before you begin IPv6 configuration. |
You must complete planning tasks and Oracle Solaris installation with IPv6 enabled interfaces before you configure an IPv6-enabled router. |
Chapter 4, Planning an IPv6 Network (Tasks) and Configuring an IPv6 Interface. |
|
2. Configure a router. |
Define the site prefix for the network. | |
|
3. Configure tunnel interfaces on the router. |
Set up a manual tunnel or a 6to4 tunnel interface on the router. The local IPv6 network needs tunnels to communicate with other, isolated IPv6 networks. | |
|
4. Configure the switches on the network. |
If your network configuration includes switches, configure them for IPv6 at this point in the configuration process. |
Refer to switch manufacturer's documentation. |
|
5. Configure any hubs on your network. |
If your network configuration includes hubs, configure them for IPv6 at this point in the configuration process. |
Refer to hub manufacturer's documentation. |
|
6. Configure the network name service for IPv6. |
Configure your primary name service (DNS, NIS, or LDAP) to recognize IPv6 addresses after the router is configured for IPv6. | |
|
7. (Optional) Modify the addresses for the IPv6-enabled interfaces on hosts and servers. |
After IPv6 router configuration, make further modifications on IPv6-enabled hosts and servers. |

Configure applications to support IPv6 |
Different applications might require different actions in order to support IPv6. |
Refer to applications' documentation |
