IPv6 KOnfigurasi: Debian Linux

15.3. Debian Linux

Following information was contributed by Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer at nic dot fr>

   Be sure that IPv6 is loaded, either because it is compiled into the kernel or because the module is loaded. For the latest, three solutions, adding it to /etc/modules, using the pre-up trick shown later or using kmod (not detailed here).

   Configure your interface. Here we assume eth0 and address (2001:0db8:1234:5::1:1). Edit /etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet6 static

       pre-up modprobe ipv6
       address 2001:0db8:1234:5::1:1
       # To suppress completely autoconfiguration:
       # up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
       netmask 64
       # The router is autoconfigured and has no fixed address.
       # It is magically
       # found. (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra). Otherwise:
       #gateway 2001:0db8:1234:5::1

And you reboot or you just

1. ifup --force eth0

and you have your static address. 15.3.1. Further information
