Regards, Yann Grossel ---------------------------------------- Bug #2888: ifconfig command bug with IPv6 addresses http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2888#change-12835 * Author: ygrossel * Status: Resolved * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Userland * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Hello, I think there is a bug in the ifconfig command regarding IPv6 addresses. Any attempt to remove a IPv6 address from an interface using ifconfig fails with the message: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address How to reproduce: - add an IPv6 address to some interface using ifconfig alias - then try to remove that address using ifconfig -alias - it fails with the error message. For example: # ifconfig vke0 | grep inet6 inet6 fe80::2be:dfff:fedf:804%vke0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 # ifconfig vke0 inet6 alias 2001:db8::1/64 # ifconfig vke0 | grep inet6 inet6 fe80::2be:dfff:fedf:804%vke0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet6 2001:db8::1 prefixlen 64 # ifconfig vke0 inet6 -alias 2001:db8::1 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address # ifconfig vke0 | grep inet6 inet6 fe80::2be:dfff:fedf:804%vke0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet6 2001:db8::1 prefixlen 64 The attached patch fixes the bug.
