X-BeenThere: freebsd-net@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Networking and TCP/IP with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:04:51 -0000 I have two machines where I need them to: 1. Solicit a prefix; 2. Apply the solicitation to a non-EUI64 address; 3. Use the non-EUI64 address as the default source address. Retaining the EUI64 address is not necessary. Static configuration prevents 1 and I have not been able to get 2 or 3 to work at all. The original KAME documentation implies this is/was possible, but current documentation says nothing about it (not that I can find, anyway). A grep of /etc/* indicates interface_ipv6_ifid_* variables (mentioned in the KAME documentation) are not supported. One is running 8.1, the other 6.4 (I can upgrade it if necessary).
