[OpenIndiana-discuss] isc-dhcp client

[Gary Gendel]

Actually, since I'm only interested in prefix delegation, I tried an 
experiment.

My external nic is bge0 and my internal nic is bge1.

I have ipfilter set up currently to allow everything on ipv6:

pass in on any all
pass out on any all

When I start dhclient to get the address block from the DHCPv6 server:

dhclient -6 -P -v bge0

I fail with a "No route to host" message.  The full output is:

Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.2.4-P1

For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/

execve (/sbin/dhclient-script, ...): No such file or directory

XMT: Solicit on bge0, interval 1010ms.
send_packet6: No route to host
dhc6: send_packet6() sent -1 of 52 bytes

It fails on a sendmsg() call to a socket that's opened for broadcast.

Is this something I'm doing wrong in ipfilter or am I missing something 
else? For example, do I need to set up a logical or virtual nic on bge0?
