Link Local IPv6 Address

Hi,
Am using FreeBSD7.4/i386
During IPv6 configuration, I added the following in rc.conf as

Quote:
ipv6_enable="YES"
auto_linklocal="YES"
ipv6_ifconfig_bce0="2010::5ef3:fcff:feb6:59bc"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2010::5ef3:fcff:feb6:1"
ipv6_network_interfaces="bce0"
ipv6_default_interface="bce0"
ifconfig_bce0="UP"


Restarted IPv6 network using /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 restart..
My problem is I need to set link local IPv6 address auto-configured..
Is my proceeding right??
I feel something missing to make link-local IPv6 possible..
I read from other sites that IPv6 will be automatically configured..
If it is so, when i try wit "ifconfig"

Quote:
# ifconfig
bce0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=401bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO>
ether 5c:f3:fc:b6:59:bc
inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.10.255
inet6 2010::5ef3:fcff:feb6:59bc prefixlen 64
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex,flowcontrol,master,rxpause,txpause>)
status: active
I Get only static/global IPv6 address and not Link-local IPv6 address..
How to make link-local IPv6 address possible??
What has to be done to display the link-local IPv6 as well as global IPv6 addresses..
Please help me to sort out this issue!!!Smilie
