Hello,
I wonder if you have any expirence how to set up a interface in
/etc/network/interfaces to pick up IPv6 address using wide dhcpv6 client.
It seems that I can have static and DHCP for IPv4, but only static for
IPv6.
However, looking at the man page, there doesn't appear to be a dhcp
method for inet6.
Indeed. I also expected "inet6 dhcp" option.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the input. You confirmed my findings.
For further reference I can confirm that following definitions work fine
with wide-dhcpv6. If you are using IPv6 only, the first definition is
better, because second needs to wait for dhcpv4 client to finish.
MANUAL:
iface eth1 inet6 manual
up /sbin/ip link set eth1 up
post-up /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client start
pre-down /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client stop
down /sbin/ip link set eth1 down
DHCP4:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
post-up /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client start
pre-down /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client stop
Cheers,
Wawrzek
