Some point out rc.local as a fix, i find it ok to but it has some ups'n'downs indeed in a reboot situation rc.local having the route add command would be ok but in a short network restart it wouldn't count (as i particularly value my uptime)... the ipv6 defaultroute it's not a big issue for me, as i do not depend on it so much, but i find it somewhat important to FreeBSD ... dunno i like to know that a distro is stable in any case (not that i'm complaining FreeBSD) reference: http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=734.0 2010/1/7 Steve Bertrand <steve@ibctech.ca> > Bogdan Webb wrote: > > I'm having problems with the /etc/rc.conf setup of a ipv6 tunnel on my > > FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p6 > > It`s a particular issue on the ipv6_defaultrouter config, it jost does > not > > work... > > Upon network and routing restart ipv6 is enabled the gif interface are > given > > ip's and everything but the defaultrouter does not. > > Researching a bit i found some say that gif1 sould work and tried both > > ipv6_defaultrouter="-interface gif1" > > and > > ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:0470:1f0a:d40::1" > > This issue is not limited to gif interfaces... > > I've had this exact same problem on ALL of my FreeBSD hosts for, well, > since ever. > > No matter what I've tried, if a box reboots, I must manually enter in > the default IPv6 router. > > Even on IPv6-only hosts, the default gateway does not take upon reboot. > > I'm up for figuring this issue out today, if nobody else has a solution > for you. > > Let me know.
