Hello,
I currently have a production system which we manage remotely. We have the
existing configuration running with both IPv4 and IPv6 address space
configured. All has been working well for some time. Unfortunately we need to
deploy an additional IPv6 address which is persistent across reboots. Currently
we have the second address being added using an ifconfig line. Is there any way
to automate the additional addresses using /etc/network/interface without doing
post/pre up stuff? Like we do with IPv4 below?
cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 1.1.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 1.1.1.0
broadcast 1.1.1.255
gateway 1.1.1.254
post-up /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules
post-up /sbin/ip6tables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules6
iface eth0 inet6 static
address <IPv6_address_here>
netmask 56
post-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add <IPv6_address_here>
post-up /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules
post-up /sbin/ip6tables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules6
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 2.2.2.181
netmask 255.255.255.255
post-up /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules
post-up /sbin/ip6tables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules6
It just feels like its a little bit of a hack rather than some sort of standard
way of doign IPv6.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jimmy Stewpot.
