If I understand it correctly, all I need to do on a network host is set ipv6_enable="YES" and the rest is done automagically. net.inet6.forwarding=0 net.inet6.accept_rtadv=1 rtsol are all set automatically from the rc.network6 startup ? Do I have to have this set? or is it all done for the ho

If I have two hosts on the same network, 2002:cb01:6006:: then they would be numbered thus - have I got it right? ruby IN 2002:cb01:6006::1 nanguo IN 2002:cb01:6006::2 $ifconfig ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 203.1.96.6 netmask 0xff00

IPv6 question - Whaich one is the host and which is the interface ?
