>Description:
When IPv6 is enabled in /etc/rc.conf but there is no native IPv6
routing, 6to4 can be enabled with some reasonable defaults to
provide IPv6 connectivity via the nearest 6to4 anycast router (RFC
3068). This patch enhances the IPv6 startup script to
automatically setup the stf interface address and the IPv6 default
gateway properly if 'auto6to4_enable=YES' is added to /etc/rc.conf
to enable this feature. This provides a simple, working IPv6
configuration for a large majority of workstations still on
IPv4-only networks. This is similar to the default 6to4
behaviour in Linux and MS Windows XP.
>How-To-Repeat:
With IPv6 enabled ('ipv6_enable=YES' added to /etc/rc.conf) in a
non-IPv6 network, attempt to ping a IPv6 host.
example: ping6 www.isc.org
The ping6 attempt should fail as there is no IPv6 route to the
host.
Install the patch below and add 'auto6to4_enable=YES' to
/etc/rc.conf and reboot. ping6 and traceroute6 should now work
to a number of IPv6 hosts.
