I think I need a static entry in /etc/network/interfaces and that this was something automagically handled by centos. It sounds like I don't need a gateway setting, though. Since Brian is off-island, and we don't have lab access, I am wary about tinkering too much. I think it is safe to add this address, 2607:f278:4101:12:204:76ff:fef1:edc8, as our static IP, though. I don't think I need to run something like this. mirror:/etc/network# apt-cache show radvd Package: radvd Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 220 Maintainer: Ghe Rivero <g...@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 1:1.1-3 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), adduser Filename: pool/main/r/radvd/radvd_1.1-3_i386.deb Size: 62122 MD5sum: 8152954e0d6b805820167cba0e899fb8 SHA1: 2059388ad55066336cb747735072a82eff7168c6 SHA256: 0c285d910d89b93c808bf8c61439679189d3a5ab89f932bcba4a05e03193011f Description: Router Advertisement Daemon IPv6 has a lot more support for autoconfiguration than IPv4. But for this autoconfiguration to work on the hosts of a network, the routers of the local network have to run a program which answers the autoconfiguration requests of the hosts. . On Linux this program is called radvd, which stands for Router ADVertisement Daemon. This daemon listens to router solicitations (RS) and answers with router advertisement (RA). Furthermore unsolicited RAs are also sent from time to time.
