When you talk about a RANGE what do you mean? Allocate more than one IPv6 address to a single interface? If so, have a look at the IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES clause in the link you included. I am not sure that you can use alias interfaces for IPv6. Put that in the ifcfg-ethx file, not in the config for the aliases (ifcfgx:y) > >>> When I run service network restart, it doesn't even provision the default IPv6 > >>> GW on eth0:1, nor does eth0:1 even show up. I don't think you can use alias interfaces for IPv6. It at least did not work on my other (Fedora) box IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES on the device DOES work on Centos 5.3 > > > > However, this is not provisioning an entire range as follows: > > > > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:70:FC:96 > > inet addr:***.***.***.*** Bcast:***.***.***.*** Mask:255.255.255.0 > > inet6 addr: 2001:470:103:1a::2/64 Scope:Global > > inet6 addr: fe80::216:3eff:fe70:fc96/64 Scope:Link > > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > > RX packets:70 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > > TX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > > RX bytes:6738 (6.5 KiB) TX bytes:2050 (2.0 KiB) > > You have a single address provsioned indeed 2001:470:103:1a::2/64 with a network part of 64 bits. > > I also have a large number of "unreachable" routes shown on the local loopback > > when I do ip -6 route show: > > unreachable ::/96 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss 16376 > > hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 2002:a00::/24 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss 16376 > > hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 2002:7f00::/24 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 2002:a9fe::/32 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 2002:ac10::/28 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 2002:c0a8::/32 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 2002:e000::/19 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > unreachable 3ffe:ffff::/32 dev lo metric 1024 error -101 mtu 16436 advmss > > 16376 hoplimit 4294967295 > > Nothing to worry abouot.
