Configuring IPv6

Linux

• Assign address to interface: ip addr add fec0::1:0:0:0:3/64 dev eth0
• Default route: ip -f inet6 route add 0::/0 via fec0:0:0:1::1

Debian/Ubuntu

Static IPv6 address:

# /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet6 static
        address 2001:1458:E008:0001::2
        netmask 64
        gateway 2001:1458:E008:0001::1
        pre-up modprobe ipv6
