 * NAT-PT
 * SNMP for monitoring

=  What kind of IPv6 capable applications are available for Netware 6.5?  =

For debbuging and diagnostics you can use:
 * IPTrace6
 * Ping6
 * ip6config

For real applications you can use:
 * Ftp6
 * Apache server

=  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.

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