Ok, i meant the configuration of "ipv6_network_interface="fxp0"" alone doesn't seem to be working:
for /etc/rc.conf:
#ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interface="fxp0"
user@lab:~:$ ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 00:06:5b:f0:7d:21
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 10.0.0.127
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
then I modified the file /etc/rc.conf:
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interface="fxp0"
then it enabled the IPv6 on every interface.
how could I enable IPv6 only on the interface fxp0 instead of every interface?
Also how could I enable the feature of "auto configuration"? I have a router configured on the same subnet on the interface fxp0 as eui-64 and sending out router-advertisement. so far i don't see the automatically configured IPv6 address on the interface fxp0 except the link-local address (the one starts with fe80::). why is that?
