B.2.1 Example of the Single system

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.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Create /etc/inet/ndpd.conf file and set the followings:

ifdefault AdvSendAdvertisements true  # Every interface sends a router advertisement.
prefix fec0:1::0/64 sha0              # sha0 sends Prefix "fec0:1::0/64".

Note

In the Solaris 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.
For details on /etc/inet/ndpd.conf, refer to the Solaris manual.

1-2) For Solaris 10
Create /etc/hostname6.fjgi0 and /etc/hostname6.fjgi1 files as an empty file.

1-2) For Solaris 11
Set the interface to be used by using the ipadm(1M) command.

Interface net0

# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net0
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net0/v6

Interface net1

# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-ip net1
# /usr/sbin/ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net1/v6

2) Reboot (For Solaris 10)

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure fjgi0 and fjgi1 are enabled as IPv6 interfaces after rebooting the system.

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

3) Creation of virtual interface

3-1) For Solaris 10

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m t -t fjgi0,fjgi1

3-1) For Solaris 11

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create inet6 -n sha0 -m t -t net0,net1

4) Activation of virtual interface

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet
