The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,
respectively. When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read
/etc/ip6addrctl.conf first. If it is found, it reads and installs it as
a policy table. If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is
chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason.
The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO.
Discussed with: ume and bz
and ipv6_ifconfig_<interface> options have already been deprecated,
these changes do not alter that.
With these changes any value set for ipv6_enable will emit a
warning. In order to avoid a POLA violation for the deprecation
of the option ipv6_enable=NO will still disable configuration
for all interfaces other than lo0. ipv6_enable=YES will not have
any effect, but will emit an additional warning. Support and
warnings for this option will be removed in FreeBSD 10.x.
Consistent with the current code, in order for IPv6 to be configured
on an interface (other than lo0) an ifconfig_<interface>_ipv6
option will have to be added to /etc/rc.conf[.local].
1. Clean up and minor optimizations for the following functions:
ifconfig_up (the ipv6 elements)
ipv6if
ipv6_autoconfif
get_if_var
_ifconfig_getargs
The cleanups generally were to move the "easy" tests earlier in the
functions, and consolidate duplicate code.
2. Stop overloading ipv6_prefer with the ability to disable IPv6
configuration.
3. Remove noafif() which was only ever called from ipv6_autoconfif.
Instead, simplify and integrate the tests into that function, and
convert the test to use is_wired_interface() instead of listing
wireless interfaces explicitly.
4. Integrate backwards compatibility for ipv6_ifconfig_<interface>
into _ifconfig_getargs. This dramatically simplifies the code in
all of the callers, and avoids a lot of other code duplication.
5. In rc.d/netoptions, add code for an ipv6_privacy option to use
RFC 4193 style pseudo-random addresses (this is what windows does
by default, FYI).
6. Add support for the [NO]RTADV options in ifconfig_getargs() and
ipv6_autoconfif(). In the latter, include support for the explicit
addition of [-]accept_rtadv in ifconfig_<interface>_ipv6 as is done
in the current code.
7. In rc.d/netif add a warning if $ipv6_enable is set, and remove
the set_rcvar_obsolete for it. Also remove the latter from
rc.d/ip6addrctl.
8. In /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
Add an example for RTADV configuration.
Set ipv6_network_interfaces to AUTO.
Switch ipv6_prefer to YES. If ipv6_enable is not set this will have
no effect.
Add a default for ipv6_privacy (NO).
9. Document all of this in rc.conf.5.
employ a more generic solution, and use it in the individual rc.d scripts
that also have an $rc_quiet test:
1. Add check_startmsgs() to rc.subr.
2. In the rc.d scripts that use rc_quiet (and rc.subr) substitute
variations of [ -z "$rc_quiet" ] with check_startmsgs
3. In savecore add a trailing '.' to the end of the message to make it
more consistent with other scripts.
4. In newsyslog remove a : before the terminal '.' since we do not expect
there to be anything printed out in between to make it more consistent.
5. In the following scripts change "quotes" to 'quotes' where no variables
exist in the message: savecore pf newsyslog
6. In the following scripts substitute if/then/fi for the simpler (and
more consistent) check_startmsgs &&: faith stf
7. In the following scripts separate the "Starting foo:" from the terminal
'.' to make them more consistent: moused hostname pf
8. In nfsclient move the message to its own line to avoid a style bug
9. In pf rc_quiet does not apply to the _stop method, so remove the
test there.
10. In motd add 'quotes' around the terminal '.' for consistency
re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility. From
UPDATING:
1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.
Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases.
$ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
they are obsolete.
2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and/or
"inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.
If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility.
3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6
functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
using ifconfig(8) like:
ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled
If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
IPv6-preferred.
The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.
4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8)
scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
(State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).
- Add rc.d/stf and rc.d/faith for stf(4) and faith(4).
- Remove rc.d/auto_linklocal and rc.d/network_ipv6.
- Move rc.d/sysctl to just before FILESYSTEMS because rc.d/netif
depends on some sysctl variables.

allow them to start after netif. There were too many problems reported
with this change in the short period of time that it lived in HEAD, and
we are too late in the release cycle to properly shake it out.
IMO the issue of having the firewalls up before the network is still a
valid concern, particularly for pf whose default state is wide open.
However properly solving this issue is going to take some investment
on the part of the people who actually use those tools.
This is not a strict reversion of all the changes for r193198 since it
also included some simplification of the BEFORE/REQUIRE logic which is
still valid for ipfilter and ip6fw.

This change has the added benefit that ifn_start() and
ifn_stop() in network.subr no longer write to standard output.
Whether to output and what to output is now handled entirely
in rc.d/netif.
non-dhcp interfaces to negotiate/associate this will make more sense.
This also correctly gets run after both devd and netif are run so it has
a chance of working.
To preserve the existing behavior of etc/rc.d/netif, add code to wait
up to if_up_delay seconds (30 seconds by default) for a default route to
be configured if there are any dhcp interfaces. This should be extended
to test that the interface is actually up.

message that the command wasn't run and offer suggestions on
what the user can do.
Implement a quiet prefix, which will disable some diagnostics. The
fast prefix also implies quiet. During boot we use either fast or
quiet. For shutdown we already use 'faststop'. So, this informational
message should only appear during interactive use.
An additional benefit of having a quiet prefix is that we can start
putting some of our diagnostic messages behind this knob and start
"de-cluttering" the console during boot and shutdown.
wpa_supplicant and other programs started by 'netif' don't get erased
by a subsequent 'cleanvar'.

This change should be a no-op; I have verified that the only change in

way interfaces are configured. Some key points:
- At startup, all interfaces are configured through /etc/rc.d/netif.
- ifconfig_<if> variables my now mix real ifconfig commands the with
DHCP and WPA directives. For example, this allows media
configuration prior to running dhclient.
- /etc/rc.d/dhclient is not run at startup except by netif to start
dhclient on specific interfaces.
- /etc/pccard_ether calls "/etc/rc.d/netif start <if>" to do most of
it's work.
- /etc/pccard_ether no longer takes additional arguments to pass to
ifconfig. Instead, ifconfig_<if> variables are now honored in favor
of pccard_ifconfig when available.
- /etc/pccard_ether will only run on interfaces specified in
removable_interfaces, even if pccard_ifconfig is set.
than one interface from the command line:
# /etc/rc.d/netif start bfe0 xl0
It's also possible to restart an interface(s):
# /etc/rc.d/netif restart bfe0
This required some changes to rc.subr(8) so that if the start/stop commands
are overidden the rest of the command line (after the start/stop/etc... cmd)
is passed through to the subroutines.
network interfaces could only be turned on and off as a group (all
static interfaces or all dhcp interfaces).
When used to start the interface a 'long form' ifconfig output is
used to show the status of the interface, but when stopping an interface
the script will simply output the name of the interface. This is simply my
personal preference. Hopefully as this functionality matures we can
stabilize on a prefered form of output for these scripts.
A stop command to the dhclient script now explicitly releases the dhcp lease.
Behaviour at system shutdown; however, is unchanged since dhclient is not,
by default, run at that time. The client will not release its lease
at shutdown.
o /etc/network.subr contains common subroutines used for seting
up network interfaces
o rc.d/hostname sets the hostname if not already set
o rc.d/nisdomain sets the nis domain *after* rpcbind but
before the yp* daemons. This fixes issues with temporary
hangs when looking up informaion in nis before it's ready.
o rc.d/netif brings network interfaces (minus dhcp) up.
