Does enybody know how the source address is choosen for an interface
with more than one global addresses?. In my case, I have a static global
address and a dynamic autoconfigured one. According to the iproute2
command reference, appendix A, I tried to play with the src and metric
parameters when adding the default route, but it doesn't seem to work.
My address&route configuration is
8: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
inet6 2001:660:10d:1444::1/64 scope global
inet6 2001:660:10d:1402:200:c5ff:fe09:5db6/64 scope global dynamic
valid_lft 2591995sec preferred_lft 604795sec
inet6 fe80::200:c5ff:fe09:5db6/10 scope link
2001:660:10d:1402::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256 expires
2591997sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440
2001:660:10d:1444::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500
advmss 1440
fe80::/10 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440
ff00::/8 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440
default via fe80::200:c5ff:fe09:5d6a dev wlan0 proto kernel metric
1024 expires 27sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440
Question: What global address is choosen for outgoing packets (e.g.
ping6 www.6bone.net)... Can I specify one of them? I tried to do it with
ip route add ... src 2001:660:10d:1444::1/64 metric 1023, but it doesn't
seems to work....
