6.2. Add an IPv6 address
Adding an IPv6 address is similar to the mechanism of "IP ALIAS" addresses in Linux IPv4 addressed interfaces.
6.2.1. Using "ip"
Usage:
# /sbin/ip -6 addr add <ipv6address>/<prefixlength> dev <interface> |
Example:
# /sbin/ip -6 addr add 2001:0db8:0:f101::1/64 dev eth0 |
6.2.2. Using "ifconfig"
Usage:
# /sbin/ifconfig <interface> inet6 add <ipv6address>/<prefixlength> |
Example:
# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:0db8:0:f101::1/64 |
