error in ipv6.html of handbook(?)
(Plz. let me know if this is wrong list to ask this ques.) Following is the part from handbook/ipv6.html -- BEGIN 19.14.2 Reading IPv6 Addresses The canonical form is represented as: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, each ``x'' being a 16 Bit hex value. For example FEBC:A574:382B:23C1:AA49:4592:4EFE:9982 Often an address will have long substrings of all zeros therefore each such substring can be abbreviated by ``::''. For example fe80::1 corresponds to the canonical form fe80:::::::0001 A third form is to write the last 32 Bit part in the well known (decimal) IPv4 style with dots ``.'' as separators. For example 2002::10.0.0.1 corresponds to the (hexadecimal) canonical representation ^^ 2002::::::000a:0001 which in turn is equivalent to writing ^^^ 2002::a:1 By now the reader should be able to understand the following: # ifconfig rl0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.10 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::200:21ff:fe03:8e1%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:00:21:03:08:e1 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active fe80::200:21ff:fe03:8e1%rl0 is an auto configured link-local address.
