I configured the IPv6 on this CentOS interface. im using the local link addr. (fe80::xxx). everything is good. Done all, i restart the network, and suddenly an extra local link inet6 appeared suddenly inet6 fe80:xxxxx:2855 Scope:Link inet6 fe80:xxxx:8411 Scope:Link i configured the .285 ipv6 address, using nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 but why suddenly an extra .8411 address appeared? that address was not inside /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. really blur, why i have an extra address there?
