Suse Linux ( SLES10 ) IPv6 Configuration

To configure IPv6 on Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10, you will need to edit the network configuration files and enable the IPv6 kernel module.

1. Edit the network configuration file for the interface you want to configure for IPv6. The configuration file is typically located at /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ethX, where X is the number of the interface.

2. Add the following lines to the configuration file to enable IPv6:

IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"

3. If you want to configure a static IPv6 address, add the following lines to the configuration file:

IPV6ADDR="2001:db8::1/64"
IPV6_DEFAULTGW="2001:db8::2"

Replace 2001:db8::1 and 2001:db8::2 with the desired IPv6 address and default gateway, respectively.

4. Enable the IPv6 kernel module by adding the following line to the /etc/modprobe.conf file:

alias net-pf-10 ipv6

5. Restart the network service to apply the changes:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Your system should now be configured for IPv6.
