HI,
I have figured out why I had problems configuring IPv6 with ipadm. My
interfaces are configured using /etc/hostname.<interface> so they are
classified as temporary interfaces.
To get IPv6 working, I created an /etc/hostname6.<interface> and
rebooted this caused a link local address to be assigned to the
interface. By modifying the /etc/hostname6.<interface> file and adding
the following line
addif XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 up
this creates a logical interface to which the static IPv6 address is
assigned. To stop a SLAAC address from being created you need to edit
the /etc/inet/ndpd.conf file and add
<interface> StatelessAddrConf false
Then perform a "pkill -HUP in.ndpd" to restart the Neighbour Discovery
Protocol daemon.
Having configured a few Linux machines with static addresses, the Linux
GUI makes the whole process straight forward.
I did find out that the Linux Mint has IPv6 access in Firefox disabled
by default but can be enabled by accessing about.config and then setting
"network.dns.disableIP6" to false.
Regards
Russell
