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? --- On Mon, 2/9/09, gahn wrote: > From: gahn > Subject: ipv6 and freebsd > To: "freebsd general questions" > Date: Monday, February 9, 2009, 2:53 PM > Hi all: > > Free questions with FreeBSD and IPV6.
