I have a b134 machine that I'd like to get participating in my IPv6 network 
using auto configuration.

By creating /etc/hostname6.e1000g0 I've been able to get the interface to have 
a fe80::/10 address. However, I have a router on the subnet sending 
advertisements for a proper /64 and I'd like that to auto configure as well.

Do I need to create another hostname6 file for a e1000g0:1 interface?


If you have /etc/hostname6.e1000g0 and the router is sending out advertisements, then you should automatically get the addresses auto-configured as soon as the interface is up. You do not need to have a separate hostname6 file for e1000g0:1.

If you do not get any addresses auto-configured,
   - check if the service svc:/network/routing/ndp:default is running
- check if you have the file /etc/inet/ndpd.conf. If you don't have the file, it is ok. If the file is present, make sure that the parameter "StatelessAddrConf" is not set to "false". For more information, refer to man page for ndpd.conf(4).
