Also one more thing which looks strange: if I use ifconfig_lo1_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal", then ipv6 aliases on lo1 are configured correctly, but there is no link-local address. If I exclude this line from rc.conf, then no ipv6 aliases are configured at all (only ipv4). _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
