Folks,
I am struggling to understand how IPv6 addresses may be added on boot
in LFS 7.7. I, of course, can add one by hand:
ifconfig eth0 inet6 add XXXX:X:XXXX:X::XXX/64
with no problem. I don't see how it is done with the new
/etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 format. In /lib/services/ I have various
ipv4-static and ipv4-static-route scripts for bringing up ipv4-static
links.
I have not been able to find a guide or anything about this anywhere.
Looking through the scripts, I could probably try to hack my way
through making a copy and so forth and making it add an IPv6 address
to the interface... but it would take a lot of time. I figured that
wasn't the intended method, and so figured I ask here.
How to bring up ipv6-static address (with gateway) on eth0 as well
(without just hand adding it, but in the LFS way... using
/etc/ifconfig.eth0 I assume)?
PS: I also had to compile the ifconfig from net-tools and replace the
one that came with inetuils so that ifconfig supported inet6. Not a
big deal, but just thought I would mention it.
We don't really address ipv6 in either LFS or BLFS. Are you doing just
ipv6 or both v6 and v4? Just v6 would be a lot easier.
