Hi all,
Previously addresses in the form fe80*%<if_name> were assigned automatically
to my IPv6 network interfaces. Having read that those fe80 addresses are used
by IPv6 configuration, and having decided that I don't need this feature, I
have been able to disable the automatic assignation by appending the following
line in my /etc/sysctl;conf:
net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal=0
After a system reboot, the move seemed to be successfull for all interfaces
*but* the loopback interface:
# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
>>>> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 <<<<
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Is there a way (other than ifconfig delete) to get rid of that address?
Best regards,
Jean-Yves Lefort
