The following usage of the ifconfig command creates the hme0:3 logical interface to the 1234::5678/64 IPv6 address and enables it with the up option, reports its status, disables it, then deletes the interface.
# ifconfig hme0 inet6 addif 1234::5678/64 up Created new logical interface hme0:3 # ifconfig hme0:3 inet6 hme0:3: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2 inet6 1234::5678/64 # ifconfig hme0:3 inet6 down # ifconfig hme0 inet6 removeif 1234::5678 |
The following usage of the ifconfig command opens the device associated with the physical interface name and sets up the streams needed for TCP/IP to use the device, reports its status, configures the tunnels source and destination address, and reports its new status after the configuration.
# ifconfig ip.tun0 inet6 plumb index 13 # ifconfig ip.tun0 inet6 ip.tun0: flags=2200850<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST,NONUD,IPv6> mtu 1480 index 13 inet tunnel src 0.0.0.0 inet6 fe80::/10 --> :: # ifconfig ip.tun0 inet6 tsrc 120.46.86.158 tdst 120.46.86.122 # ifconfig ip.tun0 inet6 ip.tun0: flags=2200850<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST,NONUD,IPv6> mtu 1480 index 13 inet tunnel src 120.46.86.158 tunnel dst 120.46.86.122 inet6 fe80::8192:569e/10 --> fe80::8192:567a |
