Enabling IPv6 on Solaris 10

Step 1)  Enable IPv6 on an Interface.

# ifconfig nge0 inet6 plumb up

Step 2)  Start the IPv6 daemon “in.ndpd”

# /usr/lib/inet/in.ndpd

Step 3)  Check status of IPv6-enabled interfaces

# ifconfig –a6

Step 4)  Create IPv6 addresses for Interfaces that were added after installation.

# touch /etc/hostname6.nge0

Step 5)  Reboot the node.

# reboot -- -r      or,

# init 6
