Re: [LI] IPv6

[skhader@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Girish,
Wassup ?? long since I met you !
Anyway, my debian 2.2.1 is ipv6 ready and even my kernel ;-)
in Debian we get something like netbase6 and ping6 tools.
I hope even redhat must be having them. Why not
take a look at their site.

And BTW there is nuthing like installing IPv6 protocol,
you just need to recompile your kernel for IPv6 ( Or is it already ?? )
and add the correspoding entry in /etc/hosts for your IP's.
and download the related IPv6 tools.
Guru's can takeover here ;-)

My /etc/hosts looks something like this

avenger@avenger:~ $ more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.2       avenger         avenger.in.ibm.com

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I want to install IPv6 protocol on my RH6.1 box.
I want both IPv4 and IPv6 to co-exist on my box.
Is it possible ?
I went thro' the IPv6 howto, downloaded from the net.
It talks of editing the "init" script "network_ip6". This
does not exists on my RH6.1
Where can I find this script.

Any pointers ?

TIA

Regards,
Girish Kamath.
