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 xxxx/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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
