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!!!

snmp::info::ipv6
Info::IPv6(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Info::IPv6(3pm)
NAME
SNMP::Info::IPv6 - SNMP Interface for obtaining IPv6 addresses and IPv6 address mappings
AUTHOR
Jeroen van Ingen and Carlos Vicente
SYNOPSIS
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $info = new SNMP::Info(
AutoSpecify => 1,
Debug => 1,
DestHost => 'myswitch',
Community => 'public',
Version => 2
)
or die "Can't connect to DestHost.
";
my $class = $info->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class
";
DESCRIPTION
The SNMP::Info::IPv6 class implements functions to for mapping IPv6 addresses to MAC addresses, interfaces and more. It will use data from
the IP-MIB, IPV6-MIB or the CISCO-IETF-IP-MIB, whichever is supported by the device.
This class is inherited by Info::Layer3 to provide IPv6 node tracking across device classes.
For debugging purposes you can call this class directly as you would SNMP::Info
my $info = new SNMP::Info::IPv6 (...);
Inherited Classes
none.
Required MIBs
IP-MIB =item IPV6-MIB =item CISCO-IETF-IP-MIB
GLOBALS
none.
TABLE METHODS
These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.
Internet Address Table

$info->ipv6_n2p_if()
$info->ipv6_n2p_mac()
$info->ipv6_n2p_state()
$info->ipv6_n2p_type()
$info->ipv6_index()
Maps an IPv6 address to an interface "ifIndex"
$info->ipv6_type()
Maps an IPv6 address to its type (unicast, anycast, etc.)
$info->ipv6_pfx_origin()
Maps an IPv6 prefix with its origin (manual, well-known, dhcp, etc.)
$info->ipv6_addr_prefix()
Maps IPv6 addresses with their prefixes
Internet Address Translation Table
$info->c_inet_phys_address()
Maps an address of type "cInetNetToMediaNetAddressType" on interface "ifIndex" to a physical address.
MUNGES
munge_physaddr()
Takes an octet stream (HEX-STRING) and returns a colon separated ASCII hex string.
