I'm using FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE with a custom kernel (VESA support, & reduced driver support) as a router/firewall/dhcp server for my two ADSL connections.
Whenever one of the ppp interfaces has to reconnect, I get the following entry in /var/log/messages
While everthing is working, I noticed the log file being flooded with this as one ADSL line was reconnecting every 95s (due to an unrelated ISP issue). What's bizarre is that the address is a multicast address, and IPv6 isn't enabled (at least it shouldn't be). Also, IPv6 has explicitly been disabled in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
However, when I look a the routing table I see:
Is there any way I can disable the IPv6 routing table as it appears that it could be the cause of the log entries? If not, can anyone suggest what the problem is?
Many thanks,
John
