https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D223407 Bug ID: 223407 Summary: [patch] etc/network.subr invalidates -auto_linklocal ifconfig flag set via rc.conf Product: Base System Version: 11.1-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bugzilla.freebsd@omnilan.de Keywords: patch Created attachment 187704 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D187704&action= =3Dedit Make rc(8) respect "-auto_linklocal" flag for INET6 ifconfig ifconfig(8) can toggle automatic link-local address configuration per interface. net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal predefines the default setting, which is to set AUTO_LINKLOCAL on all interfaces. Users should be able to disable automatic link-local address configuration selectively, not only globally (by the mentioned sysctl). Basically, adding "-auto_linklocal" as rc.conf(5) ifconfig_IF_ipv6 parameter does disable AUTO_LINKLOCAL, but too late, because network.subr issues 'ifconfig inet -ifdisabled' before. Attach patch introduces check for -auto_linklocal at that point. -harry --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
