You have to look into /etc/defaults/rc.conf. You'll find several ipv6 variables for both host and router configuration. For a host, it is quite easy: ### IPv6 options: ### ipv6_enable="YES" ipv6_network_interfaces="auto" # List of network interfaces (or "auto"). After that, your interfaces will have some more aliases on them: ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 193.56.58.65 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 193.56.58.79 inet6 fe80::200:c0ff:fe7c:6648%ed0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:00:c0:7c:66:48 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x10 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Proper routes will also be established. Also look in /usr/share/doc/examples/IPv6 for details. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 5.0-CURRENT #79: Sun May 28 01:27:10 CEST 2000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
