Re: how to get IPv6 prefix length on Tru64

[Vladislav Yasevich]

Yes, there is.  The IID/EUI-64 part can be changed
when starting IPv6 on the interace.
# ifconfig tu0 ipv6 ip6interfaceid ::dead:beef:dead:beef
# ifconfig tu0
tu0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
      inet6 fe80::dead:beef:dead:beef
The IID can be of any lenth and will be padded to 64 bits.

This allows for a shortcut.  The 'ip6prefix' keyword allows
the user a fake autoconfig.  It will use the provide prefix
(iff it's /64) with the IID to create an address.
For example, on my system:

# ifconfig -v tu0
tu0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
     HWaddr 08:00:2b:e5:4e:f7
     inet6 fe80::a00:2bff:fee5:4ef7
# ifconfig tu0 inet6 ip6prefix 3ffe:1200:4110:1::/64
# ifconifg tu0
tu0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
     inet6 fe80::a00:2bff:fee5:4ef7
     inet6 3ffe:1200:4110:1:a00:2bff:fee5:4ef7


Is there also a switch which allows to assign the EUI-64 part?
Which could be very handy for servers and the likes.
Greets,
