Figure 35. IPv6 Statistics from netstat -p ipv6 Command<br />

7.1.8.2 ifconfig<br />

ifconfig is used to assign an address to a network interface or configure network<br />

interface parameters. Address family inet6 has been added to the list of ifconfig<br />

address family arguments. A new parameter called first can be set. This puts an<br />

IPv6 address at the first place on an interface to select it as the source for<br />

unbound sockets. Examples of the use of ifconfig are shown in Figure 36. This<br />

example shows the interface status, binding a site-local address to tr0, then<br />

making the site-local address the primary IPv6 address. Finally, the results of the<br />

actions are displayed.<br />
