Hi ... I have two issues ... both related to the ndp(IPV6)utility : 1. I am trying to add a temporary entry into the neighbor discovery cache= using ndp. I noticed that it has a temp flag inorder to add temporary entries(documented in the man page as well). Here is wot i did : ndp -s 3ffe::1123 1:2:3:4:5:6 temp and here is wot ndp -a displayed : ndp -a = Neighbor Linklayer Address Netif Expire St Flg= s Prbs 3ffe::1234 1:2:3:4:5:6 fxp0 permanent R = = so i am trying to add a temporary entry into the cache but it is always a= dded as a permanant entry ... Is this a known issue/bug ?? 2. The second issue is that the man page for "ndp -p" shows that it displ= ays all the prefix's in the list (that includes link local). The man page for "ndp -P" shows that it flushes all the prefix's in the l= ist. But ndp -P (which is supposed to flush the prefix list) does not = flush the link local address's. = The reason it does'nt flush the entries is as follows : = The ioctl -p SIOCSPFXFLUSH_IN6 in nd6.c (in function nd6_ioctl)explicitly= checks to see if it a link local address and does'nt flush an entry based= on that. File :nd6.c ; Function : nd6_ioctl () (Notice i've pointed the check below using arrows) case SIOCSPFXFLUSH_IN6: { /* flush all the prefix advertised by routers */ struct nd_prefix *pr, *next; s =3D splnet(); for (pr =3D nd_prefix.lh_first; pr; pr =3D next) { struct in6_ifaddr *ia, *ia_next; next =3D pr->ndpr_next; -----> if(IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL(&pr->ndpr_prefix.sin6_addr)) <---- continue; /* XXX */ so basically ignore any LINK LOCAL prefix's that are in the table. = If we are allowed to have/add link local prefix's in the list , why are'n= t we allowed to remove them. Is there some reasoning behind this .. or is it s= imply a bug. Thanks for all the help, Preety.
