We'll have to digest this information in entirety and also start playing with rtsold and rtadvd in the lab. When we do add IPv6 support, it will be robust and solid (we don't like to do things half-arsed). It might be awhile before host-setup supports IPv6 (only because we're not using it ourselves, just yet), but it does sound like something that is rather desired. -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

RFC 4291 has a basic description of the textual representation of IPv6 addresses, but it is ambiguous: there are several different ways to present the same address according to the RFC 4291 rules. inet_pton(3) follows RFC 5952 which is a superset of the 4291 rules, only allowing a single, unambiguous representation for each IPv6 number. > After inet_pton() has translated it to a binary address, then the macros > in sys/netinet6/in6.h can be used to determine if the address is a loopback, > etc. While 5952 describes how to correctly present an IPv6 address, there's still lots of important other stuff in 4291. For instance bit 70 in an IPv6 address flags that the address is derived from a number hardwired into the interface -- typically the ethernet MAC address, as is commonly done for SLAAC (StateLess Address Autoconfiguration: RFC 4862, rtsold(8), rtadvd(8)). So an arbitrarily invented address should have that bit set to zero. Bit 71 is also special, indicating manycast vs unicast, and should also be zero for the vast majority of uses. See http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/articles/hotchpotch.html#rand-.pl for some perl code that operates in this area. Also of interest: RFC 5156 which lists IPv6 address ranges dedicated to special purpose usages, and RFC 4193 which roughly is the IPv6 equivalent to RFC 1918, but somewhat more complicated. You might find https://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ula/ relevant too, although actually using that as a registry is pretty pointless.

'::' can also be omitted as a form of compression (unless it's '::'). An example of IPv6 compression follows: '::' is the same as the following, uncompressed: ':::::' (assuming I got my double octets right) There are a lot more RFCs one can pore over to try and determine how IPv6 addressing works, but bottom line is (as I discovered): 1. Square brackets aren't necessary, except when you need to distinguish a port from an IPv6 address. 2. Compression is nice. 3. There's a rule of thumb for how to determine addresses, prefixing, etc (I never fully figured out the rules). 4. Prefixing the IPv6 address with fe80: generally means it's an IPv4 -> IPv6 address (IIRC). Other than that, I get lost because there isn't an IPv6 for dummies book (:P) out yet, the documents I've found in the past have been less than helpful, and the RFCs are usually outdated, or I have to jump through 3-4 RFCs to maybe get the information I need.

The problem from a user perspective with how we present vlans in FreeBSD is that it isn't tied directly to an interface, so it's confusing for newbies when they're trying to grok how vlans work. In general you have a couple properties to make the user aware of: 1. My parent interface. 2. My vlan tag. 3. Other good stuff like MTU, HW Filters (which I've never used), HW TSO, etc. MTU is also kind of tricky because you can set a vlan interface's MTU to something greater than the MTU of the lower interface and things won't fail properly IIRC (or maybe that was just a bug in FreeNAS.. I forget).

[ANN] host-setup 4.0 released
Hi fellow -hackers, I'd like to announce the release of a major new revision (4.0) of my FreeBSD setup utility "host-setup". http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/ Direct Link: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.txt NOTE: Make sure to hit "refresh" to "defeat the cache" Major highlights of this version are listed on the druidbsd homepage. For those unfamiliar with my "host-setup", it's a manly shell script designed to make it super-easy to configure the following: 1. Timezone 2. Hostname/Domain 3. Network Interface Settings 4. Default Router/Gateway 5. DNS nameservers All from an easy-to-use dialog(1) or Xdialog(1)* interface * Fully compatible and tested -- simply pass `-X' while in a usable X environment -- Devin P.S.
