Trying to get a static IPv6 on a server at boot time from rc.conf, and that fails. Notice I haven't set ipv6_network_interfaces , so it defaults to "auto". ===== ipv6_enable="YES" ipv6_defaultrouter="2a01:e35:2f1b:e2a0::1" # VLAN 99 = WAN / CISCO INTERCONNECTION ifconfig_vlan99="vlan 99 vlandev re0 up" ipv4_addrs_vlan99="192.168.99.3/24" ipv6_addrs_vlan99="2a01:e35:2f1b:e2a0::dead:beef/64" ===== I resorted to adding the IPv6 and default gateway via a @reboot line in /etc/crontab , but this is really not right... The machine is running 8.3-PRERELEASE from february. Should I instead try the following ? ifconfig_vlan99="inet 192.168.99.3/24 vlan 99 vlandev re0 up" ipv6_ifconfig_vlan99="2a01:e35:2f1b:e2a0::dead:beef/64" I'm not really at liberty to reboot the server to test during work time ;)
