|
|
I got my "automatic" address working fine (rebooted). I got an assigned pool. I followed the directions to add addresses via "ip -6 addr add" and got that to work. was able to ping from one linode to another on both the automaticly configured addresses and the ones manually added.
So, how do I configure this properly? ie, put the "pool" addresses I want into my interfaces file. I tried copying an iface eth0 inet6 static stanza I found online, didn't work. Anyone got an example? |

I usually do an /etc/network/interface stanza like:
iface eth0 inet6 static
address xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::dead:beef
netmask 64
Might need to stick it on eth0:1, eth0:2, etc, though... haven't played with that aspect lately. -rt |

On Debian 6.0 under my eth0 section I added lines like this:
Code: iface eth0 inet static
address <ipv4_addr>
netmask <ipv4_subnet>
gateway <ipv4_gateway>
# bring up IPv6
up /sbin/ip -6 addr add <ipv6_addr>/64 dev eth0
up /sbin/ip -6 addr add <ipv6_addr>/64 dev eth0
This ran the ip command when the interface was brought up. Seemed to work perfectly for me. I'm thinking of trying out HoopyCat's method shortly on my Debian Linode.

| I wasn't getting hoopycat's method to work out, it seemed to be ignored. I was able to get theckman's way to work and now am able to ping from external, etc. |
