Hey all,
Im trying to configure my ipv6 address, but its refusing to take the IP..
I have done this:
Server ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
Server ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
NAME="VMwareNic1(Eth0)"
UUID=63cb70e3-a034-4e0b-ab98-269730b28fa6
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=89.206.xxx.xxx
PREFIX=30
GATEWAY=89.206.xxx.xxx
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DOMAIN=domain.co.uk
HWADDR=00:50:56:B0:18:75
LAST_CONNECT=1351683488
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2a00:ed0:2000:XXXX:0:0:0:2/64
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a00:ed0:2000:XXXX:0:0:0:1
Obviously, i dont have "XXXX" in my address...
Anyway, I restart networking and my IPv6 address is NOT on the interface and refuses to work
It has its link local, but the one in the network-script isnt working..
Any ideas?
Thanks

No matter,
I used ifconfig to manually add the IP and route -A to add the default route:
Just for future reference.
# Add the address to eth0
ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2A00:ED0:XXXX:XXXX::2/64
# Add a default route
route -A inet6 add ::0/0 gw 2A00:ED0:XXXX:XXXX::1
Linear Mode
