B.7.1 Example of the Single system without NIC sharing

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

The xx, yy in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address configuration.

If the Standby patrol monitoring function is not used, omit 5) in the procedure for setting up on each host.

Note

An example of configuring /etc/inet/ndpd.conf to use Solaris server as an IPv6 router is described below:
For details on /etc/inet/ndpd.conf, refer to the Solaris manual.

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 hme0              # hme0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Create /etc/hostname6.hme0 file as an empty file.

1-2) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

fec0:1::1       v6hosta         # HOST-A Virtual IP
fec0:1::2       v6hostb         # HOST-B Virtual IP
fec0:1::100     swhub1          # Primary HUB IP
fec0:1::101     swhub2          # Secondary HUB IP

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 are enabled as IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m d -i fec0:1::1/64 -t hme0,hme1

4) Setting up the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll create -n sha0 -p fec0:1::100,fec0:1::101 -b off

5) Setting up the Standby patrol monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha1 -m p -a 02:00:00:00:00:00 -t sha0

6) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

7) Starting the HUB monitoring function

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on

[HOST-B]
