Changing IPv6 interfaces
You can change the properties of the existing IPv6 interfaces using either IBM Navigator for i or the character-based interface.
Changing an IPv6 interface using IBM Navigator for i
To change an existing IPv6 interface by using IBM Navigator for i, follow these steps:Changing an IPv6 interface using the character-based interface
Note: To run the CHGTCPIFC command, you must have
*IOSYSCFG special authority.
To change an existing IPv6 interface by using the character-based interface, follow these steps:
- On the command line, type CHGTCPIFC (Change TCP/IP Interface command) and press F4 (Prompt) to access the Change TCP/IP Interface menu.
- At the Internet address prompt, complete one of the following
steps:
- To change a normal IPv6 interface, specify the IPv6 address of the interface that you want to change.
- To change an interface created by an IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration, type *IP6SAC.
- At the Line description prompt, specify the line name of the interface, and then press Enter to see a list of optional parameters.
- Specify any of the optional parameters that you want to change, and keep the default value *SAME for any parameters that you are not changing.
- Ensure that you specify all the parameters correctly, and then press Enter.
