Enabling IPv6 on Red Hat Linux
Add the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes # Enable global IPv6 initialization
IPV6FORWARDING=no # Disable global IPv6 forwarding
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no # Disable global IPv6 autoconfiguration
IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=no # Disable automatic IPv6 tunneling
Adding persistent IPv6 Addresses on Red Hat Linux
This can be done by modifying the system configuration script, for example,
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:
DEVICE=eth1BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=3ffe:ffff:0000:f101::10/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=fec0:0:0:1::10/64
IPV6_MTU=1280
Configuring a Channel Bonding Interface with Persistent IPv6 Addresses on Red Hat
Linux
Configure the following parameters in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0:
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=12.12.12.12
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=12.12.12.0
BROADCAST=12.12.12.255
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=3ffe:ffff:0000:f101::10/64
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=fec0:0:0:1::10/64
IPV6_MTU=1280
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
Add the following two lines to /etc/modprobe.conf to cause the bonding driver to
be loaded on reboot:
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1 # active-backup mode
Adding Persistent IPv6 Addresses on SUSE
This can be done by modifying the system configuration script, for example,
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1:
