Professor,
I tried to get IPv6 address on linux machine, I could not get them
when I tried this :
cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
155.246.89.102 nemo.srcit.stevens-tech.edu nemo
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
it was showing ipv6 capable hosts
but when tried this
/sbin/ifconfig | grep inet6
none of the IP address were displayed.
but they are displaying for IPv4 address.
Thanks
Anitha
