Re: ipv6 route problems

[debian-v6@21st-century-networks.com]

Peter,

I want all traffic to go via a router somewhere else whose address is
fd35:5ab8:3be8:eeee::1 which is reachable via eth1.

If I delete the "dev eth1", I get:

/sbin/ip -6 route add ::/0 via fd35:5ab8:3be8:eeee::1
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

/sbin/ip -6 route add fd35:5ab8:3be8:1::/64 via fd35:5ab8:3be8:eeee::1   
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
