Yes. and I was trying to say, the rc.d system should alllow this to say "It wont work, you had rtsold_enabled=YES set" because these have to be either/or in my understanding of things. You can't both do SLAAC and DHCPv6. Its either/or. On Tue, Aug 9, 2022 at 8:22 AM Roy Marples wrote: > > On 08/

In my opinion, these changes are definitely worth accepting. Removing barriers to deployment of 240/4 is a good thing. The changes are really simple, easy to understand and gated by sysctl which is sensible. I really hope we can move from 'default off' to 'default on' in a reasonably short period

Is there a reason (avoid bikeshedding) the field width can't be increased to allow the bgeXhexIsVeryLong0 names to work? I'm not saying "you can alias around this" is bad, but I sense we're walking into a world which is where Linux is, with every physical device called eth0/1/2 and then "which" de

can't bridge an I/F with jumbo to taps, deleted bridge 'flags' are sticky if you remake them

2022-01-12 Thread George Michaelson
I just found a couple of odd quirks in bridge 1) you can't bridge an MTU 9000 interface to taps. If you dial it back to 1500 it works fine. I might have missed this being a limit in the man 2) when you delete a bridge, and re-create it, some of the addm "history" can come live. faulty debug sugge

how do you bring IPv6 live without reboot?

2007-06-19 Thread George Michaelson
on a 6-STABLE host, I added: ipv6_enable="YES" ipv6_network_interfaces="bge1" to rc.conf, and ran /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 this did not bring IPv6 live. rtsol reported problems with get_llflag() calls. However across reboot, the system came up with IPv6 fine. Can somebody explain w
