Bruce is right that machines expect to learn their prefixes from their local router; however if you're just playing around you might want to set it yourself. The easiest way I've found to do this is to say that this machine is a router: # sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 net.inet6.ip6.forwarding: 0 -> 1 and then run "prefix" to set a site-local prefix: # prefix dc0 fec0:0:0:1:: # ifconfig dc0 dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff:fe36:7410%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet6 fec0::1:2a0:ccff:fe36:7410 prefixlen 64 Of course, if you have global address space too you can assign that prefix too.
