YOU CAN ALSO NAVIGATE TO AN IPV6-ONLY SITE FROM MICROSOFT RESEARCH....
9. You can also navigate to an IPv6-only site from Microsoft Research. InInternet Explorer,navigate to https://traloihay.net, asshown in Figure 3.17.

IPv6 Pilot Page at Microsoft ResearchN
OTEYou will not be able to browse IPv6-only Web sites with Microsoft Internet Explorerif you use a proxy server (unless the proxy server is IPv6-enabled).Another way to test whether your IPv6 installation was successful is to run theipconfig command. If IPv6 is installed, your IP address will be shown in IPv6 format, asshown in Figure 3.18.Figure 3.18
ipconfig Results after Installing IPv6Now that TCP/IP version 6 is installed, additional utilities are available with the IPv6functionality. Other than the utilities to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot IPv6, onlyTelnet, FTP, and Internet Explorer actually use the IPv6 protocol stack.netsh Commands
netsh is an interactive command-line utility that allows you to manage local or remote net-work configurations of active machines. netsh also supports scripting, so you can createbatch configurations that run against the local machine or a specified host on the network.You can also use the Netsh utility to generate a configuration script to use as a backupconfiguration or as an aid to configure new machines in an identical fashion.netsh works with the existing components installed with the operating system by usinghelper dynamic link libraries (DLLs). Each helper DLL contains the information necessaryto execute the commands for the component to which it applies.The set of commands andfeatures supported by the DLLs is called a context,and each context is unique to the net-working component.The IPv6 interface has its own context with commands to manage and display infor-mation pertaining to the routes, interfaces, addresses, and caches specific to IPv6.There areessary for configuring IPv6 and its associated components.The component called 6to4 hasa subcontext within the IPv6 context, for configuring and managing 6to4 routers andhosts. For more information about Netsh, see the Windows Help and Support Center topictitled “Netsh Overview.”To put the netsh command into IPv6 context, type netsh at the command prompt,then at the netsh> prompt, type interface ipv6.Then you can use the IPv6 contextcommands, which include the following:■
6to4 Changes to 6to4 context.■
Add Adds a configuration entry.■
Delete Deletes a configuration entry.■
Dump Shows a configuration script.■
Install Installs IPv6.■
Isatap Changes to isatap subcontext within IPv6 context.■
Renew Restarts IPv6 interfaces.■
Reset Resets IPv6 configuration.■
Set Sets configuration information.■
Show Displays information.■
Uninstall Uninstalls IPv6.Ipsec6.exe
Ipsec6.exe is used to configure and implement IPSec security policies (SPs) and securityassociations (SAs) for IPv6. Using this utility, you can save and load security policies andsecurity associations to a file that can be edited in a text editor.This can be a real timesaverwhen you implement IPSec for IPv6 on multiple machines.The command to save a con-figuration is ipsec6 s FilenameWithNoExtension.The filename specified from the com-mand line will be appended with the extension automatically.The extension .spd is addedto security policy files, and the extension .sad is added to security association files. If youare executing this command for the first time, and there are no current policies and no cur-rent security associations, the files created can act as templates to help you get started.Other ipsec6 commands are available to works with security policies and security asso-ciations:■
To load the configuration from these files, type ipsec6 lFilenameWithNoExtension.The security policies will be loaded fromFilename.spd and the security associations from Filename.sad.■
To delete security policies and security associations, type ipsec6 d [{sp | sa}][Index]from a command line. Use the spparameter with the Indexof the policyyou wish to delete, or the saparameter to delete all of the security associations.■
To determine what the current security policies are, type ipsec6 sp [Interface]from the command line,where Interfaceis optional and applies to the securitypolicies for the specified network interface.■
To view the current security associations, type ipsec6 safrom the command line.Note that the output from the commands to view the security policies and secu-rity associations is not formatted well for a command line, so you might prefer tosave the configuration and view the files in Notepad.
