ip -6 addr add $PREFIX::1/64 dev xenbr0 ip route add default via fe80::1 dev xenbr0 You put something like the above in /etc/network/interfaces or whatever to configure addresses on Hetzner. Note that something different will be needed on other ISPs. > Some other hosting companies provide something smaller, e.g. Digital Ocean > only allows 16 IPv6 addresses per VM > (presumably out of a /64 shared with many other VMs). That would be profiteering, allocate only a few and charge extra for more addresses. An ISP that had a single /64 shared with all it's customers could easily allocate a /96 to every customer and never run out - no ISP is likely to get 2^32 customers. http://venturebeat.com/2013/12/30/iaas-provider-digitalocean-finds-itself- back-in-security-trouble/ But I think Digital Ocean has bigger issues than a lack of IPv6 addresses. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
