Hi,
   I am doing IPv6 Interoperability test, by using FreeBSD 7, where in there
is a test case failed('host.router.1_7_A.sc'), i think this is
because of the FreeBSD router by default will not enable 'Router
Header processing'.
When REF1 send ICMP6 Echo request FreeBSD machine(Tar) replys back with
ICMP6 'Parmeter problem'. One good think is that the same test case passed
when Linux machine act as a router.

Just i was looking abut this problem in internet, the FreeBSD 7 release note
says
"Processing of IPv6 type 0 Routing Headers is now controlled by the
net.inet6.ip6.rthdr0_allowed sysctl variable, which defaults to 0
(off). For more information, see security advisory
FreeBSD-SA-07:03.ipv6. [MERGED]"

I tried the same option in Router and it was not working for me...

tar2# uname -a
FreeBSD tar2.ipv6logo.hp.com 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24
19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
i386

tar2# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.rthdr0_allowed=1
sysctl: unknown oid 'net.inet6.ip6.rthdr0_allowed'


Please help me any of know about this problem.


Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Arul
