>Number: 18895 >Category: bin >Synopsis: 'fe80::<ether>' cannot be used in "via" >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon May 29 16:00:00 PDT 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Bill Trost >Release: FreeBSD 4.0-20000522-STABLE i386 >Organization: Trost Computing >Environment: >Description: If an address starting "fe80::..." is used as the interface in an ip6fw "via" clause, the address is not recognized but is (apparently) interpreted as the hostname "fe80". >How-To-Repeat: ip6fw add 55555 deny all from any to any via `ifconfig -au | fmt 1 | grep fe80 | head -1` >Fix: Prepending a zero to the front of the address causes the desired interpretation. However, the firewall rule still doesn't work when that is done, so I switched to the interface name instead. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
