The document in error is: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 24 Advanced Networking 24.10.5.2 IPv6 Router/Gateway Settings in text: To configure the interface with a local endpoint of MY_IPv4_ADDR to a remote endpoint of REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR: gif_config_gif0="MY_IPv4_ADDR REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (the problem is trivial, yet it took some amount of head scratching and digging on the startup scripts to figure out why the tunnel is not configured on boot) >How-To-Repeat: Putting the: gif_config_gif0="192.168.10.138 10.11.12.13" into /etc/rc.conf achieves no effect after restart, yet the following correctly configures the tunnel: gifconfig_gif0="192.168.10.138 10.11.12.13" >Fix: Replace: gif_config_gif0="MY_IPv4_ADDR REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR" with: gifconfig_gif0="MY_IPv4_ADDR REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR" in the named document. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
