Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: net-tools
Under certain circumstances ifconfig does not show inet6 addresses:
ifconfig eth0.1
eth0.1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1f:c6:59:76:f6
inet addr:10.42.2.1 Bcast:10.42.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:17248716 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:17342654 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:10404798221 (9.6 GB) TX bytes:17783967861 (16.5 GB)
While the addresses are there and usable:
ip -6 addr ls dev eth0.1
3: eth...@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500
inet6 2001:888:1011::694/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::21f:c6ff:fe59:76f6/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Expected in the ifconfig output: inet6 lines like (from another system):
inet6 addr: 2001:888:1011:1:21f:e1ff:fe45:2894/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::21f:e1ff:fe45:2894/64 Scope:Link
