"specified the entire 128 bits"... how do you specify only part of it?
On Solaris, you would use the "token" option ...
Ah thanks. No, not seen anywhere in Linux or *BSD.
we (ISC) asked KAME about this, and they suggested: % cat /etc/start_if.nge0 ifconfig nge0 inet6 fe80::1 ...which for freebsd 5.2.1 at least, has the right effect. rtsol still runs, and once the upper 64 bits are known, the obvious thing happens: % ifconfig nge0 | grep :: inet6 fe80::1%nge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet6 2001:4f8:3:bb::1 prefixlen 64 autoconf ...so it's not as easy as the solaris "token" thing described earlier in this thread, but it actually works fine and it's become universal on ISC's hosts. -- Paul Vixie
