How to disable ipv6 address autoconfiguration ???

Question

I am trying to disable ipv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to implement what this document describes:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01o3?a=view
There are several problems though:
1)The manual says that something must be put inside the hostname6.xxx file but then goes on to give the command as it should be given from the command line instead of the content of the file. The manual should provide some form of exapmle content for the file.
2)I go to /etc/inet/ndpd.conf and put "ifdefault StatelessAddrConf false" inside, then I pkill -HUP in.ndpd and finally I issue ifconfig eri0 inet6 token fe80::c/10. However nothing happens. The interface address remains the one generated through autoconfiguration.
Could someone that has knowledge of this subject provide any help?
Thanks very much,
Thanasis

Hi,
I have a same problem, and think we didn't understand the documentation.
Here is the link of the ndpd.conf configuration page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01qt?a=view#ipv6-ref-10
I think this is the right sintax:
if
Sets per-interface parameters. Use the following syntax:
if interface [variable-value]
Table 11�3 /etc/inet/ndpd.conf Interface Configuration Variables
StatelessAddrConf
True
Controls whether the node configures its IPv6 address through stateless address autoconfiguration. If False is declared in ndpd.conf, then the address must be manually configured. For more information, refer to How to Configure a User-Specified IPv6 Token.
I think the variable is this: StatelessAddrConf
if-variable-name StatelessAddrConf false
I think: if StatelessAddrConf false
But I found the 'false' parameter with uppercase and lowercase letter.
(It is not working for me!)
And I found another configuration file, what is include the rules of the address (/usr/sbin/ipaddrsel ).
Here is the link:

Maybe, I found the solution.

You can creat a logical interface, and you can set the IP address of this interface.
Example 11�6 Adding a Logical IPv6 Interface With the -addif Option of the ifconfig Command
The following form of the ifconfig command creates the hme0:3 logical interface:
// this is teh example, and it is not perfect on Sol10
# ifconfig hme0 inet6 addif up
Created new logical interface hme0:3
This form of ifconfig verifies the creation of the new interface:
# ifconfig hme0:3 inet6
hme0:3: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
          inet6 inet6 fe80::203:baff:fe11:b321/10
Here is my solution:
ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 addif 1234:0000:0000:0000:0200:50FF:FE09:B980/10
ifconfig e1000g0:1 inet6 up
# ifconfig -a6
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128
e1000g0: flags=2000840<RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 fe80::20d:60ff:feee:aba8/10
ether 0:d:60:ee:ab:a8
e1000g0:1: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 1234::200:50ff:fe09:b980/10
I have special IP address, but I don't know that it is working or not.
If you have any idea, please write!
