It had V6 in the kernel. I wanted to avoid reboot. Although I added V6 enabler directives to /etc/rc.conf, running the /etc/rc.d/ scripts did not seem to work. rtsol did not work, yet across a reboot, I came back with V6. go figure. so what IS the sequence which can re-initialize interfaces and sysctl kernel state, to bring V6 live? >How-To-Repeat: boot V4 only machine. add V6 enablers to rc.conf. try and bring it live runtime, without a static V6 assignment. >Fix: better documentation of a sequence of commands which DTRT with the interfaces, without disrupting existing V4 state. just because it works across reboot doesn't mean its not broken! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
