IPv6
Setting up the network connections to use IPv6 addresses requires modifying several files.
To configure the network interface:
1 Using a text editor of your choice, edit the file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
2 To 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).
3 Save and close the file.
To specify the IPv6 address of the ETKMS in the parameters script:
1 Edit the file:
/opt/etkms/bin/etkmsParams.sh
2 Edit the ETKMS_IP parameter to add the IPv6 address of the ETKMS.
Do not make any other changes to this file.
3 Save and close the file.
To set the hostname and IPv6 default gateway address:
1 Edit the file:
/etc/sysconfig/network
2 For 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.
3 Save and close the file.
To set the default DNS server and configure the hosts file:
1 At the command prompt, type
system-config-network.
2Tab to Edit DNS configuration and press Enter.
3 Enter the Hostname, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Search information.
4Tab to OK and press Enter.
5Tab to Save & Quit and press Enter.
6 At the command prompt, type
/opt/etkms/bin/etc-hosts-config.sh and press Enter.
7 At the command line, restart the network service by typing
service network restart and press
Enter.
