Quick ipv6 qestion

Hello,
At my job they are thinking of moving to ipv6 form ipv4. I have looked online but I can't seam to find the answer.
Is ipv6 part of the build for Solaris 10?
I have seen stuff like the code below for seting up ipv6.
Code:
# ifconfig inet6 qfe0 plumb up
# /usr/lib/inet/in.ndpd

There are also some files that need to be edited but they don't exist. I guess you create them.

I have not seen any mention of adding packages to the system. So do any of you have any experience with this?

any help would be great.

Solaris 10 support IPv6 out of the box. We use a route advertising neightbor discovery mechanism....works fine. Our network is dual stack (independent) IPv4 and IPv6.

So.. provided that your network can handle IPv6... it should work just fine.

At install time, you are given the option to enable/disable IPv6 for the Solaris host. I think you may get this also if you do a sys-unconfig and re-setup the system.
