Re: help needed setting up NATIVE ipv6 connection
Arone Silimantia wrote: Hello, I am in a datacenter that provides native (not tunneled) ipv6 connectivity. Unfortunately, all of the howtos for FreeBSD are focused on tunneling ipv6 and using gif0, etc. This does not apply to me because I have a real ipv6 connection. Right now things are simple - I have a single ipv4 address, and a single default gateway. Easy. My provider has given me a /48. They emailed me and told me the following: - IP block is 1234:1234:1234::/48 - gateway is ::1 That is all they told me. So my first instinct was to ifconfig an alias on em0 with inet6, and then add a inet6 default route. BUT, I keep reading that with ipv6 you don't want to manually configure addresses and routes - there is some kind of fancy autoconfigure you can do with your gateway so that you don't need to manually configure the addresses (?) So two questions: - is there indeed some fancy autoconfigure, and I don't need to manually ifconfig and 'route add inet6 default' - if not, assuming I just want to assign a single ipv6 address to myself (let's say, ::2, since ::1 is the gateway) what is the ifconfig syntax to add that one ipv6 address to my NIC (em0) as an alias that will not interfere with the ipv4 address that is already there ? Thanks. Think of it in the same way as Static/DHCP v4 works. Static machines have manually assigned addresses, dynamic/moving clients have autoconfigure by dhcp. It works in a similiar way, you will need to configure ip addresses using ifconfig em0 inet6 as normal. It is highly recommended to split the /48 into 64's. I can't find the exact literature regarding proper ipv6 address topology. However if you just want to go ahead and configure with a /48, the command would be (for example)1234:1234:1234::2 prefixlen 64 Then for the default route: route add -inet6 default 1234:1234:1234::1 HTH, Joe ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any guide how I will configure the MIPv6 in the 6.x release? Respectfully, Ioannis Kandirakis err, INET6 has been present since early 3.x (correct me if im wrong), infact its in the generic kernel, so it should just be a case of adding addresses to rc.conf and rtadvd.conf Ta, Joe ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Marwan, STUN will only work if you have the correct NAT implementation on your gateway. If you are using pf, you get what the STUN RFC calls a symmetric NAT. STUN will not help you in such an implementation. I'm not sure how the other NAT solutions on FreeBSD are implemented. If you need a solution for a symmetric NAT, you need something that understands the signaling protocol and can add fw/nat rules on demand on your gateway, or a media proxy (like TURN). Kurt It is entirely possible to use voip behnd symmetric nat, but it also entirely depends on the setup, some more details will help.

Re: Removing modules from the Userland

I installed the 6.2-RC1 version but now I have decided to remove the profiled libraries and I know that for that purpose I have to add the line NO_PROFILE= to the make.conf before the make world action. My doubt is if I reinstall or upgrade the Userland without this option or anyone (let's say Kerberos, Sendmail.. etc) that I have already installed, these options are going to be removed, or simply are not going to be upgraded and/or reinstalled again. Assuming I have read you correctly, when you put NO_PROFILE= NO_SENDMAIL= et al into you /etc/make.conf that buildworld (and by extension installworld) skip over these, leaving the old versions untouched. For example, as I have many of those set in /etc/make.conf ls -l /usr/sbin gives me in part: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 35884 Nov 21 22:25 mtree -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel1359316 Feb 1 2006 named -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel1060104 Feb 1 2006 named-checkconf -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel1011336 Feb 1 2006 named-checkzone -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1738 Feb 1 2006 named.reconfig -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1738 Feb 1 2006 named.reload -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6688 Nov 21 22:26 ndis_events Where you can see that, although I have rebuilt world as of 21 Nov, since I have NO_BIND= set, the /usr/sbin/named* has not been touched since 01 Feb. I suppose they could be deleted, but AFIK the buildworld/installworld cycle will not do this for you. On the other hand, if you are not cramped for space they do (generally) no harm. On the gripping hand, a malicious user might be able to start up and then exploit known bugs in those services, so you may be better off either upgrading to known good versions or deleting them. Perhaps someone could write a script/something to generate a diff between buildworld and installed libs for this purpose? Just a thought as I also have alot of flags like that in make.conf Ta, Joe ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
