#ping6 ip_of_default_gateway

cat /etc/rc.conf

<snip>

ipv6_defaultrouter="ip_of_default_gateway"
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="em0"
ipv6_ifconfig_em0="v6_address_of_host prefixlen 64"

</snip>


* I haven't enable the v6 firewall yet.

# grep icmp /etc/protocols
icmp    1       ICMP            # internet control message protocol
ipv6-icmp       58      IPV6-ICMP       icmp6   # ICMP for IPv6
