-Solaris 10 8/07 or later
1. Edit the /etc/hostname6.

fjgi*

file
Assign an IPv6 address or hostname and prefix length to the fjgi interface by editing the /etc/hostname6.fjgi* file (where

fjgi*

represents the driver name and instance number).
Example of the /etc/hostname6.fjgi* file:
Define a unique hostname (example: giga-v6) and prefix length (example: 120). (*1)
addif giga-v6/120 up
Or define an IPv6 address (example: fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222) and prefix length (example: 120).
addif fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222/120 up
*1: See section "2. Edit the /etc/inet/ipnodes file" when you define a hostname in the /etc/hostname6.fjgi* file.
2. Edit the /etc/inet/ipnodes file
Define an IPv6 address by a unique name. Describe the relationship between the IPv6 address and the hostname in the /etc/inet/
ipnodes file.
Example of the /etc/inet/ipnodes file:
Describe the relationship between the IPv6 address (example: fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222) and the hostname (example: giga-v6).
# IP Address Hostname
fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222 giga-v6
3. Reboot the system
Reboot the system after editing the above files.

1. How to Use the ipadm(1M) Command
Assign an IP address or hostname and prefix length to the fjgi interface by ipadm(1M) command.
Example:
Setup a unique hostname (example: giga-v6) and prefix length (example: 120) to fjgi interface (example: fjgi0 (this vanity name
is net2)). (*1)
# ipadm create-ip net2
# ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net2/v6addrconf
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a giga-v6/24 net2/v4static
Or setup an IP address (example: fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222) and prefix length (example: 120) to fjgi interface (example: fjgi0 (this
vanity name is net2)).
# ipadm create-ip net2
# ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net2/v6addrconf
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222/120 net2/v6static
*1: When you use a hostname, please see section "2. Edit the /etc/hosts file" first.
