[Bruce M Simpson]

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your message. Most of the 
development team is currently tied up in preparing for the XORP 1.6 release.

Please see chapters 11 and 12 of the User Manual for a basic overview of 
the syntax.

For an example please refer to the files rtrmgr/config/multicast4.boot 
and rtrmgr/config/multicast6.boot.

Multicast forwarding is not enabled using a single separate switch as 
such, however your attention is drawn to the "plumbing" configuration 
block in these examples. Please refer to User Manual section 2.4.5.

Actually, XORP doesn't support IPv6 Router Advertisement out-of-the-box.

Generally this has to be configured using an OS-dependent mechanism, 
e.g. the rtadvd daemon, as found in KAME derived systems such as FreeBSD.

We would very much welcome patches for adding the necessary ICMPv6 
support, perhaps as a separate XORP process, or as a patch for the FEA.

Again, supporting this option would require a patch.

thanks again
