goto LQ Newbie Registered: Mar 2003 Posts: 2 Rep:	Assigning site-local ipv6 address to an interface hi i want to assign an ipv6 address to an interface (eth0) i successfully assigned it using "ifconfig etho add ipv6address" but i wanted it that it should have a particular site-local address on bootup. so... i modified the /etc/sysconfig/network file and added NETWORKING_IPV6="yes" line in it. now i dont have to "modprobe ipv6" everytime. next i modified /etc/sysconfig/newtwork-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and added the following lines in it IPV6INIT=yes IPV6ADDR=ipv6address/prefix IPV6FORWARDING=yes and after rebooting there are two addresses to eth0 interface. one link local and one site local address. so the big question is "how can i set ONLY the site local address?" thanks in advance goto
