I use something like "ip addr add <prefix>::number/64 dev br0" in a loop to add quickly multiple addresses to the bridge. As far as I have tested it on classic interfaces like eth0, it works fine and I can see my 200 addresses (if I added 200 of them) in the output of ifconfig. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
