Hey everyone. I have an OmniOS instance on the cloud and I want to enable IPv6. I did `ipadm create-addr -T addrconf vioif/v6` and I got a link-local address, but how do I get a globally routed one?

How is the cloud claiming to advertise said addresses?

There are multiple ways it can do so.

rmustacc on FreeBSD I use rtsol – router solicitation

antranigv: If the provider is sending router advertisements it will come up automatically.

Make sure in.rdisc is running: svc:/network/routing/rdisc:default

`svcadm enable routing/rdisc` if it isn't already running.

bahamat didn't :(

danmcd I just enabled it.

let's see what happens!

`netstat -rn -f inet6` is your friend here.

I'm gonna kill myself ahhhh. PUBLIC IPV6 ADDRESS: Not available with custom images.

spent a whole hour for nothing

Don't kill yourself, kill your provider who put that in the fine print! :)

I've been wanting to kill DO for a long time

I don't have such issues with Vultr

but the customer wants to use DO for billing reasons

but they didn't care about the OS, so we used OmniOS

(and they're pretty happy with it, specially with Zones)
