Dear Bruce Thank you for a prompt response. The command you give will set the two ends of the GIF connection and we are using it, but it is not the command that sets the physical ends of the tunnel. We would expect something of the form gifconfig_gif0="fec0::1 fec0::2" but there appears to be no ipv6 form Regards Malcolm Bruce Cran wrote: > Malcolm Clarke wrote: > >> We are trying to configure an IPv6 tunnel for IPSec, ie IPv6 in IPv6. >> >> The command line would be >> >> ifconfig gif0 inet6 tunnel src-addr dst_addr (IPv6 addresses) >> >> There appears to be no equivalent line for rc.conf. >> >> Regards >> >> Malcolm > > > To configure an if_gif interface for IPv6 use: > > ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="src-addr dst_addr" > > -- > Bruce > -- --------------------------------------------------- Dr Malcolm Clarke Senior Lecturer in Data Communication Systems and Telemedicine Department of Information Systems and Computing Brunel University Uxbridge Middlesex UB8 3PH UK Tel: +44 1895 265053 Fax: +44 1895 251686 http://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/acad/siscm/research/themes/is/groups/bright/people ----------------------------------------------------
