IPv6 in rc.conf only: create gif0 / add route?

[Vince]

Since you are using a gif interface I assume you use a tunnel for your ipv6
connection.

Here is the relevant parts of my rc.conf which works 
(I use a H.E. ipv6 tunnel (http://tunnelbroker.net) 
but any gif tunnel should be similar) 

gif_interfaces="gif0"  # create the gif
gifconfig_gif0="62.140.220.90 64.71.128.83"  # setup the ipv4 endpoints of
the tunnel 
ipv6_enable="YES"                # Set to YES to set up for IPv6.
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="gif0 fxp0"  # List of network interfaces (or
"auto").
ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:470:1F01:FFFF::120"    # Set to IPv6 default
gateway
ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="2001:470:1F01:FFFF::121 2001:470:1F01:FFFF::120
prefixlen 128" #setup ipv6 tunnel
ipv6_ifconfig_fxp0="2001:470:1F01:244::1 prefixlen 64" #set fxp0 ipv6
address
rtadvd_enable="YES"              # Set to YES to enable an IPv6 router
rtadvd_interfaces="fxp1 fxp0 wi0"       # Interfaces rtadvd sends RA
packets.


Some lines may wrap.
