Duplicate Address Detection

P

Priyaamaresh

Hi,

Am trying to detect any presence of duplicate IPv6 address in FreeBSD 7.4/i386. When I tried with
Code: 
# net.ipv6.conf.bce0.accept_ra
net.ipv6.conf.bce0.accept_ra: Command not found.
where bce0 is the interface.

Can you please explain me is there any possibility for duplicate address detection?
 
You appear to be running a sysctl(8) OID as a command, which is not possible. I have no idea whether the OID you're trying to read actually exists, but it should be run with a command like [cmd=]sysctl net.ipv6.conf.bce0.accept_ra[/cmd]. If that doesn't result in anything, run commands like [cmd=]sysctl net.ipv6.conf.bce0[/cmd] or [cmd=]sysctl net.ipv6.conf[/cmd] to find out what alternatives you might have.
 
Duplicate Address Detection.

Hi,
I tried with all commands that were mentioned but I received:
Code: 
# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.bce0
sysctl: unknown oid 'net.ipv6.conf.bce0'
# sysctl net.ipv6.conf
sysctl: unknown oid 'net.ipv6.conf'
# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.bce0.accept_ra
sysctl: unknown oid 'net.ipv6.conf.bce0.accept_ra'

Says unknown OID, please explain me what does it mean to and suggest how to make duplicate IPv6 address possible.
 
No idea about the second question. You can run [cmd=]sysctl -a | less[/cmd] and have a look through the output to see which OIDs are available. Maybe SirDice or other IPcv6 fanatics have an idea about the actual question ;)
