Hi. My machine has a 64 bit ipv6 prefix from ISP, and everything works as expected. I'd like to set up a virtual interface with a new public ipv6 address from that prefix. What is the right way to do it?

Here's something to start with. Enable ipvlan in kernel setttings if disabled and run:

Code:

# ip link add name hlan link enp0s2 type ipvlan mode l2
# ip link set dev hlan up

Here hlan is an arbitrary name for the new interface.

I found it here: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/getting-started-with-ipvlan_configuring-and-managing-networking
