NAME

       ip6_setup - IPv6 configuration program

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/ip6_setup

DESCRIPTION

       The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking software on your system.

       To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the questions: # ip6_setup

       You  must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
       network.  The network manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need.

       After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the  system  can	be  restarted  manually  with  the  following  command:  #
       /usr/sbin/rcinet restart

       Before  you  restart  the  network  services  with  the preceding command, warn the users that the network services on the system are being
       removed.  File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the unmount command.
       You must remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system.

       Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command: # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now

FILES

       trusted hosts file.  Specifies the network name file.  Specifies Internet routing information.  Specifies Internet routing information.

NAME

       routes - Specifies Internet routing information to the routing tables

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/routes

DESCRIPTION

       Static  routes  can  be defined in the /etc/routes file.  The /etc/routes file identifies static routes that are automatically added to the
       network routing tables with the /usr/sbin/route add command.  The /sbin/init.d/route script contains the /usr/sbin/route add  command  that
       is executed for each entry in the /etc/routes file when the network is restarted on the system or the system is rebooted.

       The general format of an entry in the /etc/routes file is: Dest Name1 Name2

       The  following is a brief description of each element in an /etc/routes file entry: A keyword that indicates whether the route is to a net-
       work or to a host. The two possible keywords are -net and -host.  The name or address of the destination network or  host.   Name1  can	be
       either  a  symbolic  name (as used in the /etc/hosts or /etc/networks file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.  The
       name or address of the gateway host to which messages should be forwarded.  Name2 can be either a symbolic name (as used in the	/etc/hosts
       file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.

       The  routes file is a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL) and must be maintained as such.  See the System Administration manual for more
       information.

EXAMPLES

       To specify a route to a network through a gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

       -net net2 host4

	      This example specifies a route to a network, net2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a host through a  gateway  host
	      with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      -host host2 host4

	      This  example  specifies	a route to a host, host2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a default gateway host with an
	      entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      default 130.9.0.5

	      This example specifies a route to a default gateway with an Internet address of 130.9.0.5.

FILES

       Contains the /usr/sbin/routed add command.
