I haven=92t looked = into SLAAC or DHCPv6 configuration yet, so I'm not sure if either of = those require a line like the one above. Not for v6. That only does v4. I am doing: ifconfig_IF_ipv6=3D=93up" or ifconfig_IF_ipv6=3D=93inet6 accept_rtadv=94 depending on what I want to accomplish. The former is largly for = systems where I configure more than one address manually and then I tend = to put them all in _aliasN lines to avoid confusion (and I do the same = with v4 basically); the latter is for SLAAC. /bz =97=20 Bjoern A.
