Hello, I tried to setup IPv6 on a server which use ethernet bonding. My host use eth0 and eth1 which combine into device bond0. When I try to add an IPv6 address to bond0 (ip -6 addr add xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/64 dev bond0), dmesg show this error: [1492995.485604] bond0: IPv6 duplicate address xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx detected! This address cannot be ping from this host or another host. If I remove eth1 from bonding (ifenslave -d bond0 eth1), delete and re-add this address, everything work as expected. After some research, it seem that it's a bug corrected in 2.6.33. You can find more informations in a similar bug report for Redhat : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516985 You will find in it the relevant patches for the kernel. If you need further information or testing, don't hesitate.
