Feb 21, 2011 12:31


To globally enable IP Forwarding in Solaris 10 use the routeadm command as follows:

In IPv4

solaris10# routeadm -e ipv4-forwarding

In IPv6

solaris10# routeadm -e ipv6-forwarding

The switches “-e” enables IP Forwarding.

To disable IP Forwarding

In IPv4

solaris10# routeadm -d ipv4-forwarding

In IPv6

solaris10# routeadm -d ipv6-forwarding

The switches “-d” enables IP Forwarding.

After the change run the following command for the changes to take effect.

solaris10# routeadm -u

Enable/Disable IP Forwarding per interface

To enable IP Forwarding on a specific interface (say ce0) using the ifconfig command

In IPv4

solaris10# ifconfig ce0 router

In IPv6

solaris10# ifconfig ce0 inet6 router

To disable IP Forwarding for an interface (say ce0)

In IPv4

solaris10# ifconfig ce0 -router

In IPv6

solaris10# ifconfig ce0 inet6 -router
