* remove all references to $ip6sitelocal and output a warning
message if the variable is defined.
* introduce $ip6uniquelocal (defaults to 'NO') that will control the
behaviour of the system when $ip6mode is ``router'' (i.e. fc00::/7
will not be routed if the variable is ``NO'') as per RFC 4193.
Thanks to Jonathan A. Kollasch for pointing this out in PR 32152.

.Dt IFCONFIG.IF 5
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ifconfig.if
|
|
.Nd interface-specific configuration files
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
files contain information regarding the configuration of each network interface.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is processed by
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/network
|
|
at system boot time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One file should exist for each interface that is to be configured, such as
|
|
.Pa /etc/ifconfig.fxp0 .
|
|
The file will get evaluated only if the interface exists on the system.
|
|
Multiple lines can be placed in a file, and will be evaluated sequentially.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normally, a line will be evaluated as command line arguments to
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Dq Li ifconfig if
|
|
will be prepended on evaluation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a line is empty, or starts with
|
|
.Sq # ,
|
|
the line will be ignored as comment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a line starts with
|
|
.Sq \&! ,
|
|
the rest of line will get evaluated as shell script fragment.
|
|
Shell variables declared in
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/network
|
|
are accessible.
|
|
The most useful variable is
|
|
.Li $int ,
|
|
as it will be bound to the interface being configured with the file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, the following illustrates static interface configuration:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# IPv4, with an alias
|
|
inet 10.0.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX
|
|
inet 10.0.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
|
|
# let us have IPv6 address on this interface
|
|
inet6 2001:db8::1 prefixlen 64 alias
|
|
# have subnet router anycast address too
|
|
inet6 2001:db8:: prefixlen 64 alias anycast
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following illustrates dynamic configuration setup with
|
|
.Xr dhclient 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr rtsol 8 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
up
|
|
# autoconfigure IPv4 address
|
|
!dhclient $int
|
|
# autoconfigure IPv6 address. Be sure to set $ip6mode to autohost.
|
|
!rtsol $int
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following example is for dynamically-created pseudo interfaces like
|
|
.Xr gif 4 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
up
|
|
# configure IPv6 default route toward the interface
|
|
!route add -inet6 default ::1
|
|
!route change -inet6 default -ifp $int
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Earlier versions of
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/network
|
|
required an explicit
|
|
.Sq create
|
|
command for such interfaces.
|
|
This is now handled automatically.
