Step 2. Setting up the router for IPv6

Follow this procedure for setting up the router for IPv6.

1. Check to ensure that the IPv4 settings are configured, by entering the following command:

   # netstat -ni

2. With root authority, enter the following command:

   # autoconf6

3. To activate IPv6 forwarding, enter the following command:

   # no -o ip6forwarding=1

4. Configure Global IP on the router interface, by entering the following command:

   # chdev –l en0 –a netaddr6=’2001:4:5:6:207:30ff:fe05:66ec’ –a prefixlen=64

5. Manually configure routes on the router to enable accurate delivery of packets. For example, if fe80:: 3ca6:70ff:fe00:3004/64 is the gateway for prefix 2001:2:3:4::/64, add a prefix route as follows:

   # route add –inet6 –net 2001:2:3:4::/64 fe80::3ca6:70ff:fe00:3004 –static
