Default interface has inet6 reference

Hello All:

I've signed up for a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel to mess with IPv6. However when I tried to add the suggested configuration for IPv6 I noticed my interface pcn0 had a inet6 entry:

inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fed3:ff4d%pcn0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

When I did the install for OpenBSD 4.9 I answered [none] to the IPv6 configuration question. So in order to use the HE tunnel how can I remove that reference for the pcn0 interface?

Also why is it in there when I told it not to. I got the same results when using DHCP or a statically assigned IPv4 address.

Thank you,
Darryl

Default

fe80::/10 addresses are IPv6 link local addresses. They are derived from the MAC address (lladdr in the ifconfig output) of the NIC.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address#IPv6 why they are needed and automatically assigned.

In case you want to get rid of it:

Code:
$ ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:19:db:47:b0:4c
        priority: 0
        groups: egress
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,rxpause,txpause)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.222.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.222.255
        color=blue]inet6 fe80::219:dbff:fe47:b04c%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2[/color]

$ sudo ifconfig re0 -inet6 ; ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:19:db:47:b0:4c
        priority: 0
        groups: egress
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,rxpause,txpause)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.222.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.222.255
