It's just plumbed, and not marked "up." Do this: # ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 up (How did you configure it? The standard system scripts will mark an interface "up" as part of the initialization process.) > r...@bgapps170 # ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 addif 7001::25/64 You'll also want to tell that interface to go "up." To do that after the above command: # ifconfig e1000g0:1 inet6 up To do it all as one command: # ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 addif 7001::25/64 up -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list networking-discuss@opensolaris.org
