Hello, IPv6 is designed so that a single address can be allocated to multiple interfaces, for example in a round-robin, and a single interface can have multiple addresses. I am using Debian 10 Buster on various computers including RaspberryPi and find that I can manually add addresses to a running computer, but if I attempt to configure multiple addresses only the last is accepted, and all but one is lost after a reboot. However I have used crontab as root to "@reboot root ip address add " multiple addresses to a single interface which has worked until aptitude updated some raspberrypi computers without doing a reboot, and they forgot all but one IPv6 address. I now receive an error message "/bin/sh: 1: root: not found" man crontab tells me to add "-u " before the user, but then I receive a message "illegal instruction". I have also tried to add a daily reminder about the addresses via crontab, but still get the same messages.
I have yet to try Debian 11 Bullseye, but the RC1 might be available soon. -- Chris Bell Website http://chrisbell.org.uk -- GLLUG mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
