However, if you don't have an IPv6 router that sends router advertisements on your segment, you might have to configure some IPv6 addresses by hand. If this is the case, see ifconfig(8). > Can I use the route command to the IPv6 address translation tables, like > the arp in IPv4? I don't understand what "IPv6 address translation table" means...but in any case, you don't have to use the route command to configure the IPv6 routing table in a typical usage. The kernel will configure an appropriate default route automatically. JINMEI, Tatuya Communication Platform Lab.
