zardoz-11

,

zardoz-12

,

zardoz-13

, and

.

4. Create an entry in the

/etc/inet/hosts

file for each active

qfe

network

Refer to the

hosts

Note –

The Internet protocol, version 6 (IPv6), expands the capabilities of IPv4,

which is the current and default version. The device driver included in the
Solaris operating environment supports both IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 uses the

/etc/inet/hosts

configuration file, but IPv6 uses different configuration files. To

transition to, manage, and implement IPv6, refer to the Solaris System Administration
Guide, Volume 3
