However, I'm wondering, You want to the rtadvd(8) daemon. $ sudo grep -i rtadvd /etc/defaults/rc.conf rtadvd_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable an IPv6 router rtadvd_interfaces=""# Interfaces rtadvd sends RA packets. To hand out DNS servers, you'll want DHCPv6, but most folks are okay with the DNS servers they're getting via IPv4 static/dhcp. I recommend purchasing ipvbook.ca.

But, is there any reason to use dhcp on ipv6 nets as the protocol has been designed with autoconfiguration in mind ?

I set up IPv6 on my LAN and while I have DHCPd running on the router for IPv4 addresses rtadvd is all I needed for IPv6. Clients assign themselves addresses based on the network prefix they learn from route solicitation and their own MAC address. That's supposed to be one of the "reduced administration" benefits of the new protocol. :) Thanks for reminding me of the flow in which this happens. Seems like I, at sometime, got the idea that it was the router that dished back a unique IP based on clients MAC and so forth. However, it seems to me now that the router was only supposed to dish out the prefix, ie network id, and the client would take that prefix and generate a unique IP based on its MAC.

I set up IPv6 on my LAN and while I have DHCPd running on the router for IPv4 addresses rtadvd is all I needed for IPv6. Clients assign themselves addresses based on the network prefix they learn from route solicitation and their own MAC address. That's supposed to be one of the "reduced administration" benefits of the new protocol. :) JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
