Hello Hiroki-san,

The box I am using is FreeBSD 7.0-Release:

I tried this, and it add the expected route for the prefix:
2001:db8:1234:abcd::/64           link#1                        UC         =
 em0

But when I pinged the router, I still got no success:
# ping6 2001:db8:1234:abcd::fff2
PING6(56=3D40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8:1234:abcd:20c:27ff:fe3d:63dd -->

I also got this logged at the console:
