initscripts-ipv6 is a set of script and example files which should help you to configure IPv6 networking of your hosts in the same persistent manner that already like IPv4. Because IPv6 has more and other features than IPv4, this new support was developed and is currently still not full-finished. From time to time bugfixes (less) and feature enhancements (sometimes) are made.

A (mostly not current) release of my set of script files is already included in RedHat's current distributions, they are included the initscript package
RHL 7.2: initscripts-6.40 (2001-09-09) / initscripts-ipv6 version 2001-07-17a
RHL 7.3: initscripts-6.67 (2002-04-19) / initscripts-ipv6 version 2002-01-25 (2002-04-12)
RHL 8.0: initscripts-6.95 (2002-09-04) / initscripts-ipv6 version 2002-01-25 (2002-04-12)
How to get
Because of the amount of files and dependencies, the current scripts are no longer separately available via HTTP, they are now distributed in a tarball via FTP and for /Red Hat Linux/ also as SRPMS
From time to time, long tested snapshots would be renamed to a stable release.
Contains all necessary scripts and diff files for RHL 6.2 and 7.x in a tree and also a txt-file containing documentation about the new switches
Usage: extract and move them into related directories, apply version related patches
Between the stable releases mostly new sets for beta tests are available at ftp://ftp.bieringer.de/pub/linux/IPv6/initscripts/testing/
Network configuration on Linux is splitted in several steps:
Configuration of the built-in interfaces
Global network configuration
Starting of the daemons using the network
For IPv6 you have to implement in this steps the IPv6 configuration in the right way. Therefore several configuration and script files were written, which do this work. *Please, DO NOT USE following shown addresses in your case without checking!*
IPv4 interface configuration should be done by the distribution and has to be working (not a must for an IPv6 only box)
If you decide to use the latest available set, then
Fetch tarball
Extract tarball
Copy script files to related directories (perhaps outdated ones will be overwrited)
Apply patches to existing files using given diff files (# cat /path/to/file.diff | patch --dry-run)
Look into the configuration files and copy related items to yours
Please, check example data and change it before starting!
Description of current used switches and their meaning
ChangeLog
Shell script which strips away all unimportant information (e.g. debugging code and additional information), since Red Hat Linux 7.x (and similar distribution) packagers can use this like shown below and if there were no bugs left, the stripped script should work afterwards, too...

Global definitions of static routes (perhaps the support is going obsolete in the future). Normal default gateway or device shouldn't be specified here, use options DEFAULTGW or DEFAULTDEV instead.
#Device IPv6 network to route IPv6 gateway address eth0 fec0:0:0:2::/64 fec0:0:0:1:0:0:0:20 eth0 2000::/3 3ffe:ffff:0000:f102:0:0:0:1
This is a newer support of static routes per interface. Contains lines that are arguments to "/sbin/ip -6 route add"
You can restart the whole network configuration by executing
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
Normally, you're not able to see what's really happened, because the output is written to syslog (Red Hat Linux: facility: local7, file: /var/log/boot.log). Therefore it's always a good idea to look at the output on another virtual console with
# tail -f /var/log/boot.log
You can call this functions directly like shown below, but check for required options first:
# source /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6; ipv6_exec_sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2
It's also possible to increas the debug level, if library contain debug code (normally not, if installed by distribution).
Check for containing debug code:
# grep -c DEBUG_IPV6 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6 74
If the result is "0", than no debug code is included. Solution: replace current library file by an unstripped version (e.g. from tarball).
# source /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6; DEBUG_IPV6=511 ipv6_exec_sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2 EXE: /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2 DRY: /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2
The variable DEBUG_IPV6 is bitwise used, see description below the changelog fo unstripped library for more information which value is related to what.
This examples are overtaken from the former webpage, pls. inform if mistakes or failed function occured.
This section contains examples about a setup of static tunnels to different tunnel providers.
Note: static tunnels should be configured on device names sit/X/ with (/X/>0). Do not use sit0, because it is a reserved device and shouldn't be used for such cases.

If you are enable to connect your tunnel server via 6to4 to the IPv6 backbone like described earlier on this page (Example 6to4 Relay Tunnel), it's because of the assigned /48 prefix also possible, to route one or more local connected subnets, too.
Once you have decided which site prefixes you want to use, you can enstablish local routes of this prefixes through dedicated interfaces. E.g. with a choosen site prefix
0:0:0:f101::0/64
on eth0 run
# route -A inet6 add 2002:d950:2485:f101::0/64 dev eth0
To distribute the prefix, use e.g. radvd. Now clients on this link should also be able to connect to the IPv6 backbone.
In dial-up scenarios with dynamic local IPv4 address assignment, the described command must be executed every time and also the tunnel must be reconfigured. Therefore I create some scripts which do the job automatically. Also, with a new release of radvd (currently available at http://v6web.litech.org/radvd/), which support automatic recalculation of 6to4 prefixes, you can distribute the new prefix to local LANs.

In a prefix section, add a line like
Base6to4Interface ppp0;
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local
Add a calling line like
/etc/ppp/ip-up.ipv6to4 $1 >>/var/log/ppp-ipv6to4.log 2>&1
/etc/ppp/ip-down.local
Add a calling line like
/etc/ppp/ip-down.ipv6to4 $1 >>/var/log/ppp-ipv6to4.log 2>&1
On modern installation it's also possible to run IPv6 over a PPP link.
IPv4 over PPP must be already working (please send no questions about how to do that!)

Assign of defined link-local addresses on client and server works: *ok*
Manually (or scripted) assign of static IPv6 addresses works after link is up: *ok*
Server is not able to assign a global configurable prefix to ppp-client: *missing feature*, workaround: after IPv6 goes up on link, the by pppd called script ipv6-up can trigger radvd to distribute prefixes over that link, too (tested, works)
Server is not able to assign a per user definable prefix to ppp-client unlike IPv4: *missing feature*
On PPP client, you have to enable IPv6 options to enable the link for IPv6, e.g.
PPPOPTIONS="debug nomp ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote ipv6cp-accept-local ipv6ipv6cp-use-ipaddr"
On PPP server, you have to enable IPv6 options to enable the link for IPv6, e.g. add in the ppp-server's option file
+ipv6
On PPP client
Run trigger for PPP device

Minor enhancements
Creating a LyX document by importing the content from old website
This changelog was copied from the old HTML-only website.
Add new switches to control autoconfiguration per device
Take care about different meaning of the forwarding switch
Global IPv6 initscript (called from hooks in /etc/rc.d/init./network) to bring up global settings and shutdown IPv6 globally at least
Remove redundant information on page
sit-interfaces: new optional option IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL
interfaces: new optional option IPV6_MTU
IPV6TO4_RELAY can now contain a 6to4 address
Some reviews and minor enhancements, see readme-changes-ipv6.txt included in the taball for details
Add support for easy default route setup (currently using 2000::/3 because ::/0 is still not working)
Enable ifup|down-isdn (taken from RHL beta Roswell, also working on RHL 6.2) for IPv6, now you can run IPv6 over HDLC/IP
Rename radvd control options to general name because of also usable for ppp device configuration
Internal renaming of all functions in the libary, therefore all scripts need to be replaced, but normally no external adaptions are required (only, if you use the libary by self-written scripts)
Add support for radvd triggering on normal devices (not only 6to4) to handle automagically configuration of PPP links
Rename radvd control options to better naming, add RHL (fallback support)
Add and improve default route setup and 6to4 handling
Remove support of NBMA and 6to4 tunneling using sit0
Move radvd trigger for PPP to ipv6-up|down
