I'm trying to configure an IPv6 and an IPv4 address on a VLAN interface. When I configure it on a non-VLAN interface like this in /etc/network/interfaces It works as expected, but when I put the same configuration on a VLAN interface I get an error message on up and down. It looks like it works anyway but is this the correct way to configure that?
