[ rr=] RefreshRate

Specifies the refresh rate (the number of seconds between refreshing the display of the statistics).

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

set interface [name=] InterfaceName [[routing=] {enabled | disabled | default}]

[ name=] InterfaceName

Required. Specifies the name of the interface for which you want to set 6to4 service configuration. InterfaceName must match the name of the interface specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains any spaces, it must be enclosed in quotes.

[[ routing=] { enabled| disabled| default}]

Specifies whether the forwarding of 6to4 packets received on the interface is enabled, disabled, or set to its default value.

• This command enables, disables, or sets to default the routing behavior of the 6to4 service on a specified interface.
  
  

The default setting for the routing= parameter is enabled, which enables routing on private interfaces if Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is used.

Note

• Internet Connection Sharing and Network Bridge are not included in Windows Server 2003, Web Edition; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and the Itanium-based versions of the original release of the Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
  
  

show interface [[name=] InterfaceName]

[[ name=] InterfaceName]

Specifies the name of the interface for which you want to display the 6to4 service configuration. InterfaceName must match the name of the interface specified in Network Connections. If InterfaceName contains any spaces, it must be enclosed in quotes.

• If an interface name is not specified, the 6to4 configuration for all interfaces is displayed.
  
  

set relay [[name=] {RelayDNSName | default}] [[state=] {enabled | disabled | automatic | default}] [[interval=] {ResInterval | default}]

[[ name=] { RelayDNSName| default}]

Specifies either the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a 6to4 relay router on the IPv4 Internet (RelayDNSName), or sets the relay name to its default value of 6to4.ipv6.microsoft.com (default).

[[ state=] { enabled| disabled| automatic| default}]

Specifies whether the state of the relay component for the 6to4 service is enabled, disabled, automatically enabled if a public IPv4 address is configured, or set to its default value.

[[ interval=] { ResInterval| default}]

Specifies how often the name of the relay router is resolved in minutes (ResInterval) or sets the resolution interval to its default value of 1440 minutes (default).

• The 6to4 relay router is a router that provides an access point between the IPv4 Internet and the 6bone (the native IPv6 portion of the Internet). In order to access 6bone resources from a 6to4 router, the 6to4 router encapsulates 6to4 traffic with an IPv4 header and sends it to the IPv4 address of the 6to4 relay router. The 6to4 relay router removes the IPv4 header and forwards the traffic to the 6bone. For return traffic, the 6to4 relay router encapsulates IPv6 traffic and sends it to the 6to4 router at the 6to4 host's site.
  
  
• The default name of the 6to4 relay router is 6to4.ipv6.microsoft.com.
  
  
• The default state is automatic, which enables the forwarding of native IPv6 traffic to a relay router when a public IPv4 address is assigned to any interface.
  
  
• The default resolution interval is 1440 minutes (once each day).
  
  

show relay

set routing [[routing=] {enabled | disabled | automatic | default}] [[sitelocals=] {enabled | disabled | default}]

[[ routing=] { enabled| disabled| automatic| default}]

Specifies whether the state of routing on a 6to4 router is enabled, disabled, automatically enabled if Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is enabled, or set to its default value.

[[ sitelocals=] { enabled| disabled| default}]

Specifies whether the advertising of site-local address prefixes, in addition to 6to4 address prefixes, is enabled, disabled, or set to its default value.

• The default setting for the routing= parameter is automatic, which enables routing on private interfaces when ICS is used.
  
  
• The default setting for the sitelocals= parameter is enabled, which enables the advertising of site-local prefixes when site-local addresses are configured on private interfaces.
  
  

Note

• Internet Connection Sharing and Network Bridge are not included in Windows Server 2003, Web Edition; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and the Itanium-based versions of the original release of the Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
  
  

show routing

set state [[state=] {enabled | disabled | default}] [[undoonstop=] {enabled | disabled | default}] [[6over4=] {enabled | disabled | default}]

[[ state=] { enabled| disabled| default}]

Specifies whether the state of the 6to4 service is enabled, disabled, or set to its default value.

[[ undoonstop=] { enabled| disabled| default}]

Specifies whether the reversal of all automatic configuration that has been performed by the 6to4 service occurs when the service stops is enabled, disabled, or set to its default value.

• The default setting for the state= parameter is enabled, which enables the 6to4 service.
  
  
• The default setting for the undoonstop= parameter is enabled, which reverses all automatic configuration performed by the 6to4 service when the service is stopped.
  
  

show state

set router [[name=]{String | default}] [[state=]{Enabled | Disabled | Default}] [[interval]=Integer]

[[ name=]{ String| default}]

Specifies whether the router is named with a string. If default is specified, the system reverts to using the default name.

[[ state=]{ Enabled| Disabled| Default}]

Specifies whether the ISATAP router relays packets between subnets.

[[ interval]= Integer]

Specifies the router resolution interval, in minutes. The default interval is 1440 (24 hours).

The following example command sets the router name to isatap, enables the router, and sets the resolution interval to 120 minutes:

set router isatap enabled 120

set state [[state=]{enabled | disabled | default}]

[[state=]{enabled| disabled| default}]

Specifies whether isatap interfaces are created. To both disable and delete isatap compatible interfaces, specify default. To disable isatap compatible interfaces without deleting them, specify disabled.

In this example command, IPv6-compatible addresses are disabled, and any previously existing interfaces are deleted.

set state default

show router

This command displays the router name, the relay state, and the resolution interval.
