2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_S
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
product and release specific; use it with the Installation
Guide to install this product.
2.1 _I_P_v_6__s_u_p_p_o_r_t__f_o_r__I_R_I_X__6_._5_._1_9__a_n_d__l_a_t_e_r
The ipv6 product includes these subsystems:
_e_o_e._s_w._i_p_v_6 kernel resident IPv6 protocol
stack, IPv6 specific user
commands, system daemons and
configuration files
_e_o_e._m_a_n._i_p_v_6 Irix man pages for IPv6
specific commands
_e_o_e._m_a_n._i_p_v_6__r_n Irix release notes for IPv6
(this document)
2.2 _i_p_v_6__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__S_p_a_c_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of ipv6.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for information
on finding exact sizes.
Subsystem Name Subsystem Size

_e_o_e._s_w._i_p_v_6 1306
_e_o_e._m_a_n._i_p_v_6 61
_e_o_e._m_a_n._i_p_v_6__r_n 19
2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for ipv6 can be installed using IRIX.
You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the _I_R_I_S
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation
instructions.
If you are installing this product for the first time, the
- 2 -
subsystems above are not marked for installation by default
in the eoe base product. You must explicitly mark them for
installation. If upgrading a system that already has the
ipv6 subsystems installed, an "install upgrade" will pick
them up along with any other subsystems that normally would
be upgraded, provided the versions to be installed are
newer.
A tunable flag is used to enable IPv6 on the system. This is
set _o_f_f by default when the product is initially installed.
The value of the flag _i_p_6__e_n_a_b_l_e can be changed using the
_s_y_s_t_u_n_e utility. Set this value to 1 to enable IPv6. No IPv6
traffic will be passed by the kernel if this flag is set to
0. A reboot is necessary for the tunable to take effect.
Additional tunables for IPv6 forwarding and IPv6 automatic
and configured tunnelling can be found in the
/_v_a_r/_s_y_s_g_e_n/_m_t_u_n_e/_b_s_d file. These features are turned _o_f_f by
default.
The /_e_t_c/_i_p_n_o_d_e_s file can be populated with hostnames and
IPv6 addresses in hex format similar to the /etc/hosts file.
BIND 9 available on Freeware CDs from SGI or any version of
BIND that supports AAAA records can be used to advertise
node names and new addresses.
