the first alias had to be _alias0 and processing stopped at the first non-
defined variable (preventing gaps). Allowing gaps gives the administrator
the ability to group aliases in an adhoc manner and also lifts the
requirement to renumber aliases simply to comment-out an existing one.
Aliases are processed in numerical ascending order.

IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

by devd invoking /etc/pccard_ether when they are created, so the explicit

Note that interfaces created via cloned_interfaces are not explicitly
started but depend on the devd mechanism already.

This is an extended version of ipv4_addr_IF which supports both IPv4 and

- Remove IP aliases before removing all of IPv4 addresses when doing

- ipv6_enable + ipv6_gateway_enable should unset ACCEPT_RTADV by default for
backward compatibility.
- Configurations in ipv6_prefix_IF should be recognized even if there is no

- DAD wait should be performed at once, not on a per-interface basis, if
possible. This fixes an issue that a system with a lot of IPv6-capable
interfaces takes too long for booting.

(r225485). When setting an interface name to it, the following
configurations will be enabled:
1. "no_radr" is set to all IPv6 interfaces automatically.
2. "-no_radr accept_rtadv" will be set only for $ipv6_cpe_wanif. This is
done just before evaluating $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 in the rc.d scripts (this
means you can manually supersede this configuration if necessary).
3. The node will add RA-sending routers to the default router list
even if net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1.
This mode is added to conform to RFC 6204 (a router which connects
the end-user network to a service provider network). To enable
packet forwarding, you still need to set ipv6_gateway_enable=YES.
Note that accepting router entries into the default router list when
packet forwarding capability and a routing daemon are enabled can
result in messing up the routing table. To minimize such unexpected
behaviors, "no_radr" is set on all interfaces but $ipv6_cpe_wanif.

Now that printf(1) is a shell builtin, there is no need to emulate it

It may be faster to use printf directly but the function is useful for

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.

- Revert part of my previous changes to call ifn_stop on subinterfaces
when an interface is detached. It is better to destroy the interfaces
first so that an 'ifconfig foo0.blah down' doesn't result in ifconfig
auto-loading if_foo.ko. The ifconfig command will not be invoked if
foo0.blah is gone when ifn_stop() is called. Furthermore, it is not
necessary to explicitly invoke ifn_stop() after the subinterface is
destroyed as devd will already do that.
- Pass -n to ifconfig when destroying interfaces so that destroying a
cloned interface does not kldload any drivers.

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.
The rtsol(8) handles just one RA then exit. So, the OtherConfig flag
may not be handled well by rtsol(8) in the environment where there are
multiple RA servers on the segment. In such case, rtsold(8) will be
your friend.
