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
