>Number: 172743 >Category: docs >Synopsis: IPv6 handbooks lacks info about accepting router advertisements >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Oct 16 01:10:00 UTC 2012 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Wade Duvall >Release: 9.0-RELEASE >Organization: >Environment: FreeBSD <hostname redacted> 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Oct 16 16:15:22 EDT 2012 <hostname redacted>:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 >Description: The IPv6 handbook page (found here http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-ipv6.html) explains how to set up a static ipv6 addr, but not how to accept router advertisements. It should contain something to the effect of: ifconfig_$if_ipv6="accept_rtadv" is used to enable IPv6 router advertisements. >How-To-Repeat: Boot up a fresh 9.0-RELEASE on an IPv6 enabled network with SLAAC and follow instruction on IPv6 handbook page. Observe yourself getting no IPv6 >Fix: Add ifconfig_$if_ipv6="accept_rtadv" and a bit about accepting router advertisements to the docs >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
