Re: Interface configuration - inet6 issues

[Axton <axton.grams@gmail.com>]

To add to this, the following results in a /etc/network/run/ifstate that does not show eth1:

root@ntp01:/# cat /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet static

        address 10.0.4.240

        netmask 255.255.252.0

        broadcast 10.0.7.255

        gateway 10.0.4.1

iface eth1 inet6 static

        address 2001:740:7063:10::240

        netmask 64

        gateway 2001:740:7063:10::10

        pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/autoconf

        pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth1/accept_ra

root@ntp01:/# cat /etc/network/run/ifstate

lo=lo

The interfaces are configured as follows with the above configuration:
