FreeBSD rc.conf settings issue

[thazer]

Hi! I'll jump right into the problem, i'm a HE ipv6 user for quite a while and now have switched from ubuntu to freebsd and i'm having trouble with starting up the ipv6 settings...
After researching the net i've found http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipv6.php and http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=19.msg26#msg26 but unfortunately they do not apply to my FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p5 the thing is that the route is not set properly...

here's my rc.conf

Code:

ipv6_enable="YES"
gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="86.122.121.171 216.66.80.30"
ipv6_network_interfaces="lo0 gif0"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="2001:0470:1f0a:d40::2 2001:0470:1f0a:d40::1 prefixlen 128"
ipv6_defaultrouter="-interface gif0"

but i have to manually execute the
/sbin/route -n add -inet6 default 2001:0470:1f0a:d40::1

for the ipv6 network to work properly
i must say i've tryed to use ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:0470:1f0a:d40::1" and ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="2001:0470:1f0a:d40::2/64" as well in the config but still no joy...

thanks in advance!

Here's what mine looks like

Code:

ipv6_network_interfaces="fxp0 gif1 lo0"
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"
ipv6_prefix_fxp0="2001:470:c27d:d000"
gif_interfaces="gif1"
gifconfig_gif1="12.199.185.10 209.51.181.2"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif1="2001:470:1f10:2aa::2/64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="-interface gif1"

I did have problems when trying to use gif0...I'm still not exactly sure why, but gif1 worked with no problems.

[thazer]

tryed and tryed it always says

Code:

pgn# ping6 ipv6.google.com
ping6: UDP connect: No route to host

[cholzhauer]

can you post your routing tables (netstat -nr) and output of "ifconfig -a" ?

did you try using gif1 instead of gif0?

i'll try to keep this thread clean and use pastebin, hope this will be ok with all...

here is the basic comand line config from tunnelbroker.net

here's the rc.conf

Code:

defaultrouter="86.122.121.129"
gateway_enable="YES"
hostname="pgn.ro"
ifconfig_nfe0="inet ....."
[...]
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="lo0 gif1"
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"
gif_interfaces="gif1"
gifconfig_gif1="86.122.121.171 216.66.80.30"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif1="2001:0470:1f0a:d40::2/64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="-interface gif1"
[...]

after that i do a quick network restart

as ipv6 does not work i use route to add the gateaway :

p.s. sorry for the old encrypted pastebins...

[jimb]

Just make the pastebin links actual links so people can click on them.  Also, the pastebins are encrypted.  Can't see them without a password.

[cholzhauer]

While this isn't a perfect fix, it would work.

create /etc/rc.local as root

add the following line to it

Code:

route -n add -inet6 default 2001:0470:1f0a:d40::1

Reboot.

FreeBSD will run that command on restart.
