IPv6 Network Administration

Summary

We've gone into the details of how to do the basic configuration of IPv6 for a variety of devices you might encounter on an IP network, covering the basic details for each OS and the commands you'll need to use. We've covered the most common complications you're likely to face, but at the end of the day, complications can arise in almost any procedure. Probably the best approach, if you anticipate a tricky install, is to use this chapter as reference material for the install, and as a list of pointers of what to do if you have problems. Remember, the vendor documentation can be quite detailed and it is worth revising or keeping open beside you as you work.

Finally, if something isn't working, take heart, there is very probably a way to do what you want to do—it's often a case of lateral thinking, and using Google or similar search engines to look for the exact error you've been getting.
