Problem is that my upstream >provider (Sprint) wants to use 64 as prefixlen (IMHO FBSD is ok, but it >seems to be the common practice to assign /64 to tunnels) you need to configure like either: # ifconfig gif0 3ffe:2900:000b:000d::1 3ffe:2900:000b:000d::2 \ prefixlen 128 alias # ifconfig gif0 3ffe:2900:000b:000d::1 prefixlen 64 alias if you specify both your and peer's address, you need to set prefixlen to 128. if you specify prefixlen to 64, the peer's address is not necessary (it will get discovered automatically). actually, the prefix length on p2p interface does not, and should not really matter. (the separate problem is that there are multiple interpretation of p2p in the world - major ones are gated interpretation and cisco interpretation) we (as KAME) will try to improve the behavior, like non-working ones get rejected on ifconfig time or such. itojun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
