IPv6 query

Hi,

Is it possible to have the *same interface* set with a static IP for
IPv4 but dynamic for IPv6 ?

thanks,

Sure. The IPv4 and IPv6 configuration bits in /etc/rc.conf are pretty
independent. Having something like:

ifconfig_em0="inet 192.0.2.1/24"

and

ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"

shouldn't be a problem at all.

(assuming by 'dynamic' you mean SLAAC. DHCP6 is left as an excercise
for the reader.)

Cheers,

Matthew

xlnt, that's how I had it. I think it maybe either router or ISP failure
for now, thanks for your help
