I've configured a bridge0 interface that bridges fxp0 and em0.
I have a global IPv6 address configured on it and IPv6 works fine.

# ifconfig bridge0
bridge0: flags=8043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet x.x.x.82 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast x.x.x.95
        inet6 2001:4877:1777:1001::1 prefixlen 64 
        ether ac:de:48:49:71:91
        priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20
        member: fxp0 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
        member: em0 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>

I'm trying to run route6d and it aborts because there is no link local
address on the bridge0 interface. I can't even tell route6d to ignore
the interface because it won't get past initialization.

Is anyone routing route6d over a bridge0 interface and if so,
did you add a link local address manually (can you even do that)
or some other trick?

# route6d -d

No ifindex found at bridge0 (no link-local address?)

Thanks,
Tom
