>Description:
Documentation error, the rc.conf parameter name
is 'gifconfig_gif0' (no underscore), not 'gif_config_gif0'.
The document in error is:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html
FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 24 Advanced Networking
24.10.5.2 IPv6 Router/Gateway Settings
in text:
To configure the interface with a local endpoint of MY_IPv4_ADDR
to a remote endpoint of REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR:
gif_config_gif0="MY_IPv4_ADDR REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(the problem is trivial, yet it took some amount of
head scratching and digging on the startup scripts to
figure out why the tunnel is not configured on boot)
>How-To-Repeat:
Putting the:
gif_config_gif0="192.168.10.138 10.11.12.13"
into /etc/rc.conf achieves no effect after restart,
yet the following correctly configures the tunnel:
gifconfig_gif0="192.168.10.138 10.11.12.13"
>Fix:
Replace:
gif_config_gif0="MY_IPv4_ADDR REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR"
with:
gifconfig_gif0="MY_IPv4_ADDR REMOTE_IPv4_ADDR"
in the named document.
