Hi
I recently got an IPv6 connection and wanted to get OpenIndiana working
with IPv6, intially I tried to do this with the
/etc/hostname6.<interface> file but found this worked well for
autoconfiguration but not with static configuration.
So in order to get thing working with the ipadm command, I needed to
remove /etc/hostname.* and /etc/hostname6.* plus a few other files.
After removing the files adding the IPv4 addresses was really easy
# dladm show-phys
LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE
e1000g1 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g1
e1000g2 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g2
Create the e1000gN interfaces
# ipadm create-if e1000g1
# ipadm create-if e1000g2
Now assign the IPv4 Address
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a A.B.C.D/N e1000g1/v4
Show Addressing
# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8
e1000g1/v4 static ok A.B.C.D/N
In order to add an IPv6 address, you must enable autoconfiguration first
as per
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1453/ipv6-config-tasks-64.html
# ipadm create-addr -T addconf e1000g1/v6
when I try to add a static address as per document
# ipadm create-addr -T static 2000:A:B:C:D:E:F:G/64 e1000g1/v6
ipadm: Invalid arguments
usage: create-addr [-t] -T static [-d]
-a{local|remote}=addr[/prefixlen]
<addrobj>
create-addr [-t] -T dhcp [-w <seconds> | forever] <addrobj>
create-addr [-t] -T addrconf [-i interface-id]
[-p {stateful|stateless}={yes|no}] <addrobj>
if I change the addrobj then the address is added
# ipadm create-addr -T static 2000:A:B:C:D:E:F:G/64 e1000g1/v6a
The document indicates to turn off IPv6 Address Autoconfiguration you
need to include in /etc/inet/ndpd.conf the following definition
e1000g1 StatelessAddrConf false
When I check the Address Information
# ipadm show-addr -o all
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE CURRENT PERSISTENT ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok U---- --- 127.0.0.1/8
e1000g1/v4 static ok U---- U-- A.B.C.D/N
lo0/v6 static ok U---- --- ::1/128
e1000g1/v6 addrconf ok U---- U-- fe80::::::::/10
e1000g1/v6a static ok U---- U-- 2000::::::/64
e1000g1/v6 addrconf ok U---- --- 2000::::::/64
I would like to able to remove the auto-configured Global address, I
modified the ndpd.conf so that included
e1000g1 StatelessAddrConf false
e1000g1/v6 StatelessAddrConf false
I have tried them singly and together in different order but the
autoconfigured Global Address keeps appearing.
The autoconfigured global address would initially disappear after
performing a "pkill -HUP in.ndpd" but it always returns.
Any assistance in removing the Global autoconfigured address would be
appreciated.
Just as an aside, configuring IPv6 on LinuxMint is so easy, a couple of
minutes and its done.
TIA
Russell
