Dear all: I use command, date, to set current time. I find this causes the two problems. I test the following two cases in freebsd 5.5-STABLE and in freebsd 7.0-BETA2, and I find the result is the same. 1.in neighbor discovery protocol(ndp) The following is my command sequence. $ ndp -a Neighbor Linklayer Address Netif Expire S Flags 2001:b121:4::cccc 0:50:8d:48:57:9a fxp0 permanent R 2001:b121:4:0:41f7:42ee:d08c:ca8c 0:90:cc:c2:aa:61 fxp0 26s R 9999:9999::1 0:5:1c:15:a:8b rl0 permanent R fe80::205:1cff:fe15:a8b%rl0 0:5:1c:15:a:8b rl0 permanent R fe80::250:8dff:fe48:579a%fxp0 0:50:8d:48:57:9a fxp0 permanent R fe80::290:ccff:fec2:aa61%fxp0 0:90:cc:c2:aa:61 fxp0 30s R fe80::1%lo0 (incomplete) lo0 permanent R $ date Fri Mar 21 16:14:18 UTC 2008 $ sudo date 0703211614 Password: Wed Mar 21 16:14:00 UTC 2007 $ ndp -a Neighbor Linklayer Address Netif Expire S Flags 2001:b121:4::cccc 0:50:8d:48:57:9a fxp0 permanent R 2001:b121:4:0:41f7:42ee:d08c:ca8c 0:90:cc:c2:aa:61 fxp0 366d0h0m4 R 9999:9999::1 0:5:1c:15:a:8b rl0 permanent R fe80::205:1cff:fe15:a8b%rl0 0:5:1c:15:a:8b rl0 permanent R fe80::250:8dff:fe48:579a%fxp0 0:50:8d:48:57:9a fxp0 permanent R fe80::290:ccff:fec2:aa61%fxp0 0:90:cc:c2:aa:61 fxp0 366d0h0m4 R fe80::1%lo0 (incomplete) lo0 permanent R =============================================================================================== I adjust system current time to one year ago by using 'date' command. we can find ndp expiration time, in Expire column, also extended one year. Is this OK? 2.in router advertisement daemon(rtadvd) I also adjust system current time to test rtadvd. Before I adjust system current time, rtadvd can send unsolicited RA periodically. rtadvd can send unsolicited RA about from 200 seconds to 600 seconds each time. But after I adjust system current time to one year ago, rtadvd does not send unsolicited RA any more. Is the behavior correct? _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
