 |
|
if i just replace the old settings with an IPv6 address, and restart the device, it gives me this error:
| Code: |
root@a216server /etc/conf.d # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Bringing eth1 up...
* eth1 fec0::1
fec0::1: Unknown host
ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information. [ !! ]
|
Also, is it possible to set both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the conf file?

You're getting that error message because you are specifying an IPv6 address and ifconfig is expecting an IPv4 address (the default).
It should be possible to do both. I think you'll need two iface_eth0 statements, one with the IPv4 settings and one with the IPv6 settings (see the ifconfig man page, look for 'address family"). |
