Hi All,
I am trying to use static IPv6 configuration on FreeBSD 8.0 and 8.1-RELEASE.
Please excuse me if my knowledge about IPv6 is bad. But there is not enough documentation about how to configure IPv6 if I don't want to use autoconf.
Could anybody tell me what the difference between two manipulations:
1) If I add to rc.conf (for example)
after booting I will see in routing table:
2) If I type (for example)
I will see in routing table:
So I don't understand these things:
a) Why results are different? In IPv4 results are the same...
b) Why flags are different? Why in first case flag "S" is absent?
b) Why in both cases FreeBSD loose IPv6 default route after the small period of time (about 10 minutes)?
