IPv6 configuration of AIX

How can I enable IPv6 on AIX?

You should traverse several menu in smit(graphical)/smitty(curses) tool.

Do I have to configure/restart inetd also to provide IPv6 via internet superserver?

In theory you should configure inetd to have IPv6 also, but in practice (since AIX using dual-stack technology) you can use IPv6 service after enabling IPv6 as described in earlier section.

There is some IPv6 conectivity problem with AIX box. What to do?

Symptoms : I can reach machines on the LAN via IPv6 (e.g. with ping), but remote machines canoot reach me via IPv6 (e.g. no answer to ping).
