Hello everyone,
I've got a few questions regarding Solaris 9 OS and IPv6 protocol. I would be grateful if anyone could answer any of those:
1) /etc/defaultrouter for IPv6
Is there any "decent" place where one may specify default route for IPv6, like in /etc/defaultrouter for IPv4?
Assumptions: There is no IPv6-enabled router in the LAN, so Ethernet interface is not configured for IPv6 (no /etc/hostname6.if_name). Solaris box that I am thinking of has only a static IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel (/etc/hostname6.ip.tun0).
2) Did you encounter any problems with RPC after activation of IPv6?

ttsession fails and I cannot log into CDE environment which makes the system unusable from my point of view.
Assumptions: Again, only a static IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. IPv6 is not enabled on the Ethernet interface.
Should I activate IPv6 also on Ethernet interface, even if there is no logical need for this?
3) firewall on the host
What are my options today? Any free solution? Any stateful solution? For IPv4, IP Filter (AKA ipf) is just enough for me.
Cheers,
