IPv6 and multiple interfaces
I'm using an IPv6 tunnel to Hurricane Electric on my FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE firewall. That firewall has multiple Ethernet interfaces. Should each of those interfaces be assigned a routable IPv6 address? And what *is* link-local? Is there a decent (English language) FAQ that's readable by technical users who aren't networking experts? -- Kirk Strauser 94 outdated ports on the box, 94 outdated ports. Portupgrade one, an hour 'til done, 82 outdated ports on the box. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

To phrase it differently, you shouldn't use the same IPv6 address on multiple interfaces, but you don't have to run IPv6 on all interfaces. link-local?

OK, back to being on-topic for FreeBSD: how would I assign v6 addresses to those interfaces? I'm running rtadvd on that machine and it's my understanding that sending and accepting advertisements on the same host is a no-no. Should I just give them all static assignments in /etc/rc.conf? And is there any suggested way for inventing the addresses for those interfaces? link-local?
