Installation and Configuration

IPv6

Setting up the network connections to use IPv6 addresses requires modifying several files.

To configure the network interface:

1Using a text editor of your choice, edit the file:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

2To add an IPv6 address, add the following lines:

IPV6INIT=yes IPV6ADDR=<IPv6 Address>

Where <IPv6 Address> is the IPv6 address that you want to assign to the ETKMS. If you are using an IPv6 address, you also need to edit the etkmsParams.sh file (see “To specify the IPv6 address of the ETKMS in the parameters script:” on page 50).

3Save and close the file.

To specify the IPv6 address of the ETKMS in the parameters script:

1Edit the file:

/opt/etkms/bin/etkmsParams.sh

2Edit the ETKMS_IP parameter to add the IPv6 address of the ETKMS. Do not make any other changes to this file.

3Save and close the file.

To set the hostname and IPv6 default gateway address:

1Edit the file:

/etc/sysconfig/network

2For an IPv6 address, add the following lines:

NETWORKING_IPV6=yes

IPV6_DEFAULTGW=<gateway address>

Where <gateway address> is the IPv6 address of the default gateway.

Whether you are using IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, if this ETKMS is a backup ETKMS, the hostname must be the same as the primary ETKMS with backup appended to the name. For example, the backup ETKMS for a primary ETKMS named ETKMS1.mycompany.com must be named

ETKMS1backup.mycompany.com.

3Save and close the file.

To set the default DNS server and configure the hosts file:

1At the command prompt, type system-config-network.

2Tab to Edit DNS configuration and press Enter.

3Enter the Hostname, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Search information.

4Tab to OK and press Enter.

5Tab to Save & Quit and press Enter.

6At the command prompt, type /opt/etkms/bin/etc-hosts-config.shand press Enter.

7At the command line, restart the network service by typing service network restart and press Enter.
