Hi,
I'm trying to configure an Ubuntu 12.04 Server VM with static IP addresses.
The config is this:
[...]
# IPv6 static address
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:610:148:cafe::9
netmask 64
autoconf 0
privext 0
These flags only work in Debian Wheezy (7.0) and, if I read the
changelogs correctly, in or after Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal). For Ubuntu
12.04 you need to use sysctl.
The static Method
This method may be used to define interfaces with statically
assigned IPv6 addresses. By default, stateless autoconfiguration is
disabled for this interface.
Options
address address
Address (colon delimited/netmask) required
netmask mask
Netmask (number of bits, eg 64)
gateway address
Default gateway (colon delimited)
media type
Medium type, driver dependent
hwaddress address
Hardware address
mtu size
MTU size
accept_ra int
Accept router advertisements (0=off, 1=on)
autoconf int
Perform stateless autoconfiguration (0=off, 1=on).
Default value: "0"
privext int
Privacy extensions (RFC3041) (0=off, 1=assign,
2=prefer)
scope Address validity scope. Possible values: global,
site, link, host
preferred-lifetime int
Time that address remains preferred
