* [build] Mark core files as permitted for UEFI Secure BootMichael Brown2026-01-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Mark all files used in a standard build of bin-x86_64-efi/snponly.efi as permitted for UEFI Secure Boot. These files represent the core functionality of iPXE that is guaranteed to have been included in every binary that was previously subject to a security review and signed by Microsoft. It is therefore legitimate to assume that at least these files have already been reviewed to the required standard multiple times. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [ipv6] Allow for multiple routersMichael Brown2016-07-251-0/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Select the IPv6 source address and corresponding router (if any) using a very simplified version of the algorithm from RFC6724: - Ignore any source address that has a smaller scope than the destination address. For example, do not use a link-local source address when sending to a global destination address. - If we have a source address which is on the same link as the destination address, then use that source address. - If we are left with multiple possible source addresses, then choose the address with the smallest scope. For example, if we are sending to a site-local destination address and we have both a global source address and a site-local source address, then use the site-local source address. - If we are still left with multiple possible source addresses, then choose the address with the longest matching prefix. For the purposes of this algorithm, we treat RFC4193 Unique Local Addresses as having organisation-local scope. Since we use only link-local scope for our multicast transmissions, this approximation should remain valid in all practical situations.

* [ipv6] Create routing table based on IPv6 settingsMichael Brown2016-07-201-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the IPv6 settings to construct the routing table, in a matter analogous to the construction of the IPv4 routing table. This allows for manual assignment of IPv6 addresses via e.g. set net0/ip6 2001:ba8:0:1d4::6950:5845 set net0/len6 64 set net0/gateway6 fe80::226:bff:fedd:d3c0 The prefix length ("len6") may be omitted, in which case a default prefix length of 64 will be assumed. Multiple IPv6 addresses may be assigned manually by implicitly creating child settings blocks. For example: set net0/ip6 2001:ba8:0:1d4::6950:5845 set net0.ula/ip6 fda4:2496:e992::6950:5845 Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [ipv6] Match user expectations for IPv6 settings prioritiesMichael Brown2016-07-191-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A reasonable user expectation is that ${net0/ip6} should show the "highest-priority" of the IPv6 addresses, even when multiple IPv6 addresses are active. The expected order of priority is likely to be manually-assigned addresses first, then stateful DHCPv6 addresses, then SLAAC addresses, and lastly link-local addresses. Using ${priority} to enforce an ordering is undesirable since that would affect the priority assigned to each of the net<N> blocks as a whole, so use the sibling ordering capability instead.

* [settings] Allow for IPv6 setting types in non-IPv6 buildsMichael Brown2013-12-051-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | Allow for the existence of references to IPv6 setting types without dragging in the whole IPv6 stack, by placing the definition of setting_type_ipv6 in core/settings.c and providing weak stub methods for parse_ipv6_setting() and format_ipv6_setting().

* [ipv6] Separate the concepts of prefix and address creationMichael Brown2013-11-151-5/+15
| | | | | | | | Allow for IPv6 routing table entries to be created for an on-link prefix where a local address has not yet been assigned to the network device. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [ipv6] Replace IPv6 stackMichael Brown2013-09-031-0/+218
Replace the existing partially-implemented IPv6 stack with a fresh implementation. This implementation is not yet complete. The IPv6 transmit and receive datapaths are functional (including fragment reassembly and parsing of arbitrary extension headers). NDP neighbour solicitations and advertisements are supported. ICMPv6 echo is supported. At present, only link-local addresses may be used, and there is no way to specify an IPv6 address as part of a URI (either directly or via a DNS lookup).
