hello list, i try to setup a small ipv6 test network. however, it seems like i am too dump to setup my routes. when i bring up the interface for the first time, all is well and ping6 works just nicely: $ ifconfig rl1 rl1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet6 3ffe:feed:face:cafe:0:2:2e39:f9 prefixlen 64 ether 00:02:2e:39:00:f9 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active $ netstat -rn -finet6 <SNIP> 3ffe:feed:face:cafe::/64 link#2 UC rl1 </SNAP> so far, so good :) however, when i delete the route to the network 3ffe:feed:face:cafe::/64, (which is reachable via rl1 directly), i am not able to recreate it. the commands $ route add -inet6 -net 3ffe:feed:face:cafe::/64 -iface rl1 and $ route add -inet6 -net 3ffe:feed:face:cafe::/64 -interface rl1 yield only the following: $ netstat -rn -finet6 <SNIP> 3ffe:feed:face:cafe::/64 00:02:2e:39:00:f9 ULS rl1 </SNAP> with which ping6 doesnt work, no packets are written onto the ether at all. so i guess my question is: what is the exact parameter syntax to route(8) which yields a netstat -rn -finet6 output with a link#NN target?? cheers/ thnx, /folkert /* _ _ * _|| _ * || folkert@feedface.com * */
