I'm unable to configure my Ubuntu 14.04 VM to have only an IPv6 address on boot-up. Dual stack works fine. My /etc/networking/interfaces looks like this: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet6 static address 2001:610:188:444::55 netmask 64 gateway 2001:610:188:444::1 autoconf 0 privext 0 accept_ra 0 dns-search terena.org dns-domain terena.org dns-nameservers 2001:610:1:800a:192:87:106:106 After boot-up there is only a link-local address: root@trusty-test:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:95:42:ab inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fe95:42ab/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:101 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:6644 (6.6 KB) TX bytes:2132 (2.1 KB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:18192 (18.1 KB) TX bytes:18192 (18.1 KB) However, if I manually ifdown/ifup the interface, then things start working: root@trusty-test:~# ifdown eth0 root@trusty-test:~# ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:240 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:18192 (18.1 KB) TX bytes:18192 (18.1 KB) root@trusty-test:~# ifup eth0 Waiting for DAD...
