Generally, yes it does, but I have no experience about doing this with a dynamic IPv6 address - unless one was added while I wasn't looking, PPP does *not* have a mechanism to assign an IPv6 address (only assign unique interface identifiers which other protocols can use to configure addresses). > (b) the hostname.if / ifconfig syntax to bring it up with IPv4 and IPv6 on > the pppoe interface. For static addressing, I'm using this at one place: -- -- -- inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.1 \ pppoedev vr1 authproto chap authname bleh authkey bleh !/sbin/route add default -ifp pppoe0 0.0.0.1 inet6 2001:4b10:1002:ff::1 !/sbin/route add -inet6 default 2001:4b10:1002:ff::1 -- -- -- At another site I'm putting a static v6 address on an internal ethernet interface and just leaving the ppp interface unnumbered: -- -- -- inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.1 \ pppoedev re0 authproto chap authname [email protected] authkey bleh !/sbin/route add default -ifp pppoe0 0.0.0.1 !/sbin/route add -inet6 default -ifp pppoe0 fe80::1 -- -- -- (as this is a point to point interface, the exact address in the routes doesn't matter as long as it's pointed out of the pppoe interface, either by using an address assigned to that interface, or explicitly with -ifp) You're going to need something like this too, but also need a way to discover what address to use, probably using the same mechanism you're using on MacOSX. One possible method is DHCPv6 prefix delegation - there's nothing in the base OS for this but you can try isc-dhcp-client or wide-dhcpv6 in packages, if you get it working I'd appreciate if you'd post a few quick notes here on what you did.
