ip6_setup(8)
NAME
  ip6_setup - IPv6 configuration program

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/ip6_setup

DESCRIPTION
  The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking software
  on your system.

  To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the
  questions:

       # ip6_setup

  You must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your
  network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
  network.  The network manager should be able to provide you with the
  information that you need.

  After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the system
  can be restarted manually with the following command:

       #  /usr/sbin/rcinet restart

  Before you restart the network services with the preceding command, warn
  the users that the network services on the system are being removed.	File
  systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount
  command must be unmounted with the umount command. You must remount these
  file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your
  system.

  Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command:

       # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now

      configuration on your system.
