Re: slaac ipv6 bridge not working

Hi All,

Finally I have found the solution. It is described
in the following quotation from the shell script
used to create and activate the bridge.

   #By default and even, if in the file "/etc/rc.conf"
   #the variable 'ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"'
   #is defined, the interface will be created with IPv6
   #disabled. No local-link address is generated
   #and thus no IPv6 networking is possible.
   ifconfig bridge0 inet6 -ifdisabled
   ifconfig bridge0 inet6 auto_linklocal
   ifconfig bridge0 inet6 accept_rtadv

best regards
