This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.
The xx, yy and zz in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address configuration.
[HOST-A]
1) Setting up the system
1-1) Configure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is 0,1) file as follows.
Note
The following setting example (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX) is for RHEL5. For details, see "3.2.2 Network configuration".
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX HOTPLUG=no ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet |
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
1-2) Configure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.Y (X is 0,1. Y is 3,4,5,6) file as follows.
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.3
DEVICE=eth0.3 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes |
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.4
DEVICE=eth1.4 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes |
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.5
DEVICE=eth0.5 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes |
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.6
DEVICE=eth1.6 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes |
1-3) When the system is RHEL, on /etc/sysconfig/network file, define a statement allows the system to load IPv6 module.
NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes IPV6TO4INIT=no VLAN=yes |
2) Reboot
Run the following command to reboot the system. After rebooting the system, verify eth0.3, eth0.5, eth1.4 and eth1.6 are active using ifconfig command.
/sbin/shutdown -r now
3) Creating of virtual interface
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m t -t eth0.3,eth1.4 /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha1 -m t -t eth0.5,eth1.6
4) Setting up IPv6 routers
Create /etc/radvd.conf file and set the following.
interface sha0
{
AdvSendAdvert on; # Sending router advertisements
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix fec0:1::0/64 # Sending Prefix fec0:1::0/64 from sha0
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
};
interface sha1
{
AdvSendAdvert on; # Sending router advertisements
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix fec0:2::0/64 # Sending Prefix fec0:2::0/64 from sha1
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
}; |
Note
In the server that runs Fast switching mode, configure two or more router as IPv6 router. If the IPv6 router breaks down, it cannot use site-local address to communicate.
To prevent this, it is recommended to setup at least two IPv6 routers.
Depending on the version of radvd, kernel parameter(net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1) must be defined in /etc/sysctl.conf file.
For details on /etc/radvd.conf, refer to the radvd.conf(5), radvd(8) manual.
5) Reboot
Run the following command and reboot the system.
/sbin/shutdown -r now
[HOST-B]
1) Setting up the system
1-1) Configure /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (X is 0,1) file as follows.
Note
The following setting example (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX) is for RHEL5. For details, see "3.2.2 Network configuration".
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX HOTPLUG=no ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet |
Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX HOTPLUG=no ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet |
1-2) When the system is RHEL, on /etc/sysconfig/network file, define a statement allows the system to load IPv6 module.
NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes IPV6TO4INIT=no |
2) Reboot
Run the following command to reboot the system. After rebooting the system, verify eth0 and eth1 are active using ifconfig command.
/sbin/shutdown -r now
3) Creating of virtual interface
/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m t -t eth0,eth1
4) Setting up IPv6 routers
Create /etc/radvd.conf file and set the following.
interface sha0
{
AdvSendAdvert on; # Sending router advertisements
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix fec0:1::0/64 # Sending Prefix fec0:1::0/64 from sha0
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
}; |
5) Reboot
Run the following command and reboot the system.
/sbin/shutdown -r now
