It could arguably be either.
That's actually a second issue. That was my mistake in 0.5 "Picea," and, unlike the ndp problem, it's relatively easy to disable using "noipv6" in /etc/nwam/llp. On the plus side, NWAM Phase 1 is actually headed towards doing IPv6 by default anyway, so the current plan is to leave that secondary mistake in place, document it, and then build on it. (If you feel it should be undone rather than just documented, update CR 6761569.) The primary issue for 'routeadm -u', though, is one that affects systems regardless of whether they run the 'nwam' service. All systems get an IPv6 lo0 loopback interface, whether they need it or not, and that change came in quite some time ago with NWAM Phase 0. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
