any working example of IPv6 /etc/hostname.carpXXX ?

[Илья Шипицин]

Dear Sirs,

I need to configure ipv6 over carp interface. It seems that carp doesn't
like things in one line


ifconfig carp470 vhid 70 pass xxx carpdev vlan470 advskew 20 inet6
2a00:1a70:80:470::2 prefixlen 128

it says something wrong about ipv6. don't have any idea why. so, one-line
config for hostname.carpXXX will not work.

if I do two ifconfigs:


ifconfig carp470 vhid 70 pass xxx carpdev vlan470 advskew 20
ifconfig carp470 inet6 2a00:1a70:80:470::2 prefixlen 128


everthing seems to be ok.

but if I put  stuff to hostname.carpXXX

r1n0:/root# cat
/etc/hostname.carp470

vhid 70 pass xxx carpdev vlan470 advskew 20
inet6 2a00:1a70:80:470::2 prefixlen 128
up


I got no ipv6 address and carp is in INIT state (no RUNNING flag).


is there a way to configure ipv6 + carp from /etc/hostname.XXX ?

Cheers,
Ilya Shipitsin

Not really, it just sits in init unless you also configure a (possibly
dummy) ipv4 address.

bad syntax, should be

inet6 2a00:1a70:80:470::2 128

see hostname.if(5).

Same problem with needed a (possibly dummy) ipv4 address.
It certainly works fine with a v4 address in there.

This is a bug in -current. I broke IPv6-only setups.
