Configuring and Administering IP Interfaces and Addresses in Oracle Solaris

This chapter describes how to configure a network that implements IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. Many of the tasks in this chapter apply to both IPv4 and IPv6-enabled networks. Procedures that pertain to IPv4 or IPv6 networks only are indicated as such.

Prior to configuring your network, review the IP-related planning tasks that are described in Planning for Network Deployment in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

For information about administering other TCP/IP properties such global packet forwarding and transport layer services, see Administering Transport Layer Services in Administering TCP/IP Networks, IPMP, and IP Tunnels in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
