Hi,
I have static networking for IPv4 setup as follows on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and all is working well.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0 eth0:0
iface eth0 inet static
address
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway
iface eth0:0 inet static
address
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway
For IPv6 I added the following:
iface eth0 inet6 static
address netmask 64
gateway fe80::1
up ip -f inet6 addr add /64 dev eth0
up ip -f inet6 addr add /64 dev eth0
up ip -f inet6 addr add /64 dev eth0
On reboot this works fine and when I do a networking restart it works for a little while and then I start getting this:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces…
SIOCADDRT: File exists
Failed to bring up eth0.
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 13580
All the IPv4 addresses are up on eth0 and the virtual interface and the main IPv6 address also comes up on eth0 but the three addresses for the IPv6 range don't. This appears random.
Any thoughts?
