      Enter an address prefix to use on interface ITn [DONE]:

If a router is not advertising a global address prefix on this tunnel interface, enter a 64-bit address prefix. You can configure multiple address prefixes for this configured tunnel. You are prompted for additional address prefixes until you enter DONE.
If you do not want the host to use an IPv6 address prefix on the tunnel interface, press Enter.

  • The configuration procedure asks whether you want to create another IPv6-over-IPv4 configured tunnel: 


     
      Create another IPv6 over IPv4 configured tunnel? [NO]:

    If you want to create another IPv6-over-IPv4 configured tunnel, enter YES. The procedure repeats steps 12 through 14 for each additional configured tunnel you choose to create.
    If you do not want to create another IPv6-over-IPv4 configured tunnel, press Enter. The procedure continues at step 16.

  • Indicate whether you want to create an IPv6-over-IPv6 configured tunnel: 


     
      Create IPv6 over IPv6 configured tunnels? [NO]:

    If you want to create an IPv6-over-IPv6 configured tunnel, enter YES. You are prompted to enter information about this tunnel in subsequent steps.
    If you do not want to create an IPv6-over-IPv6 configured tunnel, press Enter; the configuration procedure continues at step 21.

  • Enter the tunnel's source IPv6 address in response to the following prompt: 


     
      Enter the source IPv6 address of tunnel ITn:

    Enter the tunnel's source IPv6 address in the dotted-decimal format (d.d.d.d).

  • Enter the IPv6-over-IPv6 tunnel's destination IPv6 address in response to the following prompt: 


     
    Enter the destination IPv6 address of tunnel ITn:

    Enter an IPv6 address in dotted-decimal format d.d.d.d. The tunnel's destination address must differ from the source address entered in step 17.

  • Enter an address prefix to use on the tunnel interface: 


     
      Enter an address prefix to use on interface ITn [DONE]:

    If a router is not advertising a global address prefix on this tunnel interface, enter a 64-bit address prefix. You can configure multiple address prefixes for this configured tunnel. You are prompted for additional address prefixes until you enter DONE.
    If you do not want the host to use an IPv6 address prefix on the tunnel interface, press Enter.

  • The configuration procedure asks whether you want to create another IPv6-over-IPv6 configured tunnel: 


     
      Create another IPv6 over IPv6 configured tunnel? [NO]:

    If you want to create another IPv6-over-IPv6 configured tunnel, enter YES. The procedure repeats steps 17 through 19 for each additional configured tunnel you choose to create.
    If you do not want to create another IPv6-over-IPv6 configured tunnel, press Enter.

  • The procedure asks whether you want to configure manual IPv6 routes. 


     
      Configure manual IPv6 routes? [NO]:

    If you want to configure a manual IPv6 route to an adjacent router or remote IPv6 network, enter YES; subsequent prompts ask you for information about the route. Otherwise, press Enter; the configuration procedure continues at step 26.

  • Indicate the address prefix of a destination IPv6 network: 


     
      Enter the destination network address prefix:

    Enter the IPv6 address prefix of the destination IPv6 network, or enter DEFAULT for the default route.

  • Enter the name of the interface through which you will send traffic to the remote IPv6 network: 


     
      Enter interface to use when forwarding messages:

  • Enter the link-local IPv6 address of the first router in the path to the destination network. This address along with the IPv6 address prefix constitute the static routing table entry. 


     
      Enter the next node's IPv6 address:

    If the next node is on the same link as this node or is reachable through a configured tunnel, enter the link-local address. If the next node is reachable through an automatic tunnel, enter the IPv4-compatible IPv6 address. For all other connections, enter the IPv6 address.

  • Indicate whether you want to define another manual route to an adjacent router or remote IPv6 network: 


     
      Configure another manual IPv6 route? [NO]:

    If you want to define another manual route, enter YES. The configuration procedure repeats steps 22 through 24 for each additional manual IPv6 route you choose to define. If you do not want to define another manual route, press Enter.

  • At this point, the configuration procedure displays a summary of your new IPv6 host configuration, as shown in the following example: 


     
        You configured this node as an IPv6 host with the 
        following: 
 
    Daemons: 
 
      ND6HOST   Dynamic Updates Disabled 
 
    Interfaces: 
 
      WE0       Dynamic Address Configuration Enabled 
      TN1       6to4 Tunneling Enabled using 5.6.7.8 
                Prefix 2002:506:708::/64 
                Relay Router 2002:90A:B0C:1::1 
 
    Manual Routes: 
 
      2002::/16                   TN1       FE80::5.6.7.8 
      DEFAULT                     TN1       2002:90A:B0C:1::1

  • The configuration procedure asks whether you want to create a new host configuration file based on the choices you have made: 


     
      Create new IPv6 network configuration files? [YES]:

    If you are not satisfied with the configuration, enter NO; the configuration procedure ends immediately without changing the current IPv6 network configuration.
    If you are satisfied with the configuration, press Enter. The configuration procedure creates a new host configuration file and displays the following information: 


          A  new  IPv6  configuration  file,  SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$INET6_CONFIG.DAT, 
      has been created.  The previous configuration file  (if any)  has been 
      renamed to SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$INET6_CONFIG.DAT_OLD. 
 
      This new IPv6 network configuration will become active the  next  time 
      TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is started.
