Hello M.Laranjo The Kame stack for IPv6 should be working fine, whether you use stateless autoconfiguration or static configuration. Since you want to use static configuration, my suggestion would be to modify the /etc/rc.conf file so that your static configuration is loaded everytime at boot. That way, you don't have to suppress the autoconfigured address to reconfigure your static address afterwards. The lines you will need are : ipv6_enable="YES" ipv6_network_interface="em0" ipv6_ifconfig_em0="2001:db8:1234:abcd:20c:27ff:fe3d:63dd prefixlen 64" ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:db8:1234:abcd::1" This should work. Please try to ping6 your router to see if everything is working as it's supposed to. About your last question, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think FreeBSD will autoconfigure a route if you just add a static ipv6 address on your interface... Unless you use a routing daemon like routed. Kind regards Aman Jassal Le Sam 2 mai 2009 21:59, Rommel Laranjo a écrit : > Hello everyone, > > > I need help.
