My ISP assigned prefix is: 2607:F4B8:3::/48
So I am building my internal IPv6 firewall/router/ etc.
I want to have a static IPv6 address on its eth0 so that I can create
static v6 routes to it from the gateway. I add the following lines to
ifcfg-eth0:
HWADDR=00:40:F4:05:A8:F1
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
IPV6ADDR="2607:F4B8:3:1"
if-up eth0 gets the error:
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "2607:F4B8:3:1/64".
ERROR : [ipv6_add_addr_on_device] Cannot add IPv6 address
'2607:F4B8:3:1/64' on dev 'eth0'
What is missing?
Why is it not building an address of 2607:F4B8:3:1:0:40:F405:A8F1 ?
I am reading:
file:///usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.19.EL/sysconfig.txt for my
'inspiration'. Other sources are welcome...
OH, /etc/sysconfig/network does have the line:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
