[Bug 508996] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias
Ubuntu Server 14.04 (or Debian) definitely needs a much better IPv6 support for ifupdown (or something entirely new), it is very hard to maintain a huge IPv6-based /etc/network/interfaces files these days... Basically, no IPv6 Alias or VLANs support for ifupdown... :-( I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 14.04 (or 12.04) in a IPv6-Only network and it is a pain (Ubuntu Desktop, Windows and Mac works okay)... IPv6 management is very easy when with Ubuntu Desktop but, when with Server, it needs much more work to become more admin-friendly. =) I know that you can have everything of your IPv6 network up and running using up ip -6 addr add /64 dev $IFACE and etc but, it kills the purpose of the /etc/network/interfaces file (if you use it just like a Bash script)... Long life for Ubuntu / Debian! Lets move to a IPv6-Only-World guys!! IPv4 is a thing of the past...=P Best, Thiago -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508996 Title: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/508996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Canonical IS reports that they're still encountering this issue with Ubuntu 12.04, even though the Debian bug was fixed in 0.7~alpha4 and 12.04 shipped with 0.7~beta2ubuntu8.

I also tested on quantal and get the same result as with raring. So this issue is 12.04 specific.

[Bug 508996] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias
There is not ifupdown interface for doing multiple addresses without an alias. Aliases do work, even with IPv6. There is a patch in the debian bug to support it. However, the worst part about this bug is if you do ifdown eth0:1 With an IPv6 stanza configured, it downs the entire interface, including IPv4. This caused a production server outage for me and is likely to catch people out. In my opinion that is a much more critical bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508996 Title: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/508996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You should need no interface aliases on IPv6, as IPv6 provides for an interface to have more than one address. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508996 Title: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 508996] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias
In response to comment #1, isn't that contradictory? Is there something specific within IPv6 that didn't exist in IPv4, as IPv4 also allowed an interface to be assigned multiple addresses? If aliases aren't necessary, how can multiple addresses (either IPv4 and IPv6 or multiple IPv6) be assigned through /etc/network/interfaces? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508996 Title: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up IPv6 alias -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
