Hi,
I am trying to bring up an IPv6 address on a loopback interface:
2001:XXX:0:FFFA::8/128 using ifup(8) and /etc/network/interfaces.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifup lo:10
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Failed to bring up lo:10.
/etc/network/interfaces:
--
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface lo inet6 loopback
# IPv6 LAN address
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:XXX:0:FFFD::66
netmask 64
gateway 2001:XXX:0:FFFD::1
# IPv6 loopback 10
iface lo:10 inet6 static
address 2001:XXX:0:FFFA::8
netmask 128
--
I have tried various combinations of static, loopback, manual as the
inet6 interface method, read, and reread the ifup(8), interfaces(5)
man pages, but no luck.
Adding it manually works, no problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig lo:10 inet6 add 2001:XXX:0:FFFA::8/128
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ip addr show | grep -i FFFA
inet6 2001:XXX:0:fffa::8/128 scope global
Anyone care to try see if they can get this to work?
