Re: ifconfig gif0 and rc.conf [was: Re: IP packet with options]

Dear Bruce

Thank you for a prompt response.

The command you give will set the two ends of the GIF connection and we are using it, but it is not the command that sets the physical ends of the tunnel.

We would expect something of the form

gifconfig_gif0="fec0::1 fec0::2"

but there appears to be no ipv6 form

Regards

Malcolm

We are trying to configure an IPv6 tunnel for IPSec, ie IPv6 in IPv6.

The command line would be

ifconfig gif0 inet6 tunnel src-addr dst_addr (IPv6 addresses)

There appears to be no equivalent line for rc.conf.

Regards

Malcolm


To configure an if_gif interface for IPv6 use:

ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="src-addr dst_addr"
