It would be of help if you provided more detail about what you are after. Is this EL6 or EL7? Either way stop using ifconfig and start with ip - especially in ipv6 territory. There is no "order" as you seem to think, outside of the slight differentiation between primary and secondary. The primary address on an interface is the one that will be used as the source address for an application, with the secondary addresses being there to accept traffic. When you mention ssh to you mean ssh the client application or ssh the daemon server? If the latter then you can set ListenAddress to the IP to listen to. If the client then you need to use '-b' to define the address to connect from, if wanting something other than what `ip route get 8.8.8.8` (or whatever destination address it is) lists as the src address. In principle you could use `ip rule` to set up rules directing to a secondary routing table with a different src, but that's more complex. If you want this address persistent for one or more hosts without always having to add '-b ::' to define the source address then you can use BindAddress in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config at a system level or ~/.ssh/config at a user level to always use that set source address. man ssh and man ssh_config will help you here ... assuming this is just about ssh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] IPv6 addresses order (CentOS6)
Hello, in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 I have this ... IPV6INIT=yes IPV6ADDR=prefix::5 IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES="prefix::2 prefix::3 prefix::4" IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6_DEFAULTGW=prefix::1 IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0 when I enter ifconfig the IPv6 addresses are in a different order eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ... inet addr:... Bcast:... Mask:... inet6 addr: fe80::.../64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: prefix::4/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: prefix::3/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: prefix::5/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: prefix::2/64 Scope:Global is there a way to influence the order? or how can I tell e.g. ssh to use a specific IPv6 address? (as it seems ssh uses the first one listed in ifconfig and not the one defined with IPV6ADDR) Thanks, Walter ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
