Hi,
I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4) version.
If an interface is configured with IPv6 global addresses and it made DOWN,
then all the ipv6 addresses gets removed. Even if the interface back to UP,
those global addresses are not coming back and needs to be reconfigured
manually. Is this an expected behavior ?
