As I suggested in bug 1634176, I think that we can extend the 'ip=' parameter to work as it has a 'autoconf' parameter in it, which indicates the type of "auto" configuration to do:
klibc documents the previous ip= syntax at README.ipconfig [1]. <client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf> My suggestion is to extend the 'autoconf' parameter. Previously the supported documented values were 'rarp', 'bootp', 'both', 'dhcp', 'all', 'off', 'static', 'none'. I suggest we add 'dhcp6' to the the list. We could also support 'dhcp4,dhcp6' or 'dhcp+dhcp6' indicating both should be tried or possibly dhcp6 if and only if dhcp4 failed. I think though, for the immediate use case that just adding 'dhcp6' to the autoconf types would suffice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621507 Title: initramfs-tools configure_networking() fails to dhcp ipv6 addresses To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1621507/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
