How can configure IPv6 on Netware 6.5?

  1. Copying the necessary NLMs to system directory : First you must copy all the NLMs from sys:research/ipv6 to sys:system directory. Note: the sys:research directory is installed in the default install.

  2. Running IPv6 install script : At the console prompt on Netware6.5 server run the next script
     perl sys:research/ipv6/install.pl
  3. customise your configuration : the install.pl script generates an ip6.cfg configuration file in sys:etc directory that should be customised. A sample file:
