I am unclear on the question; are you asking how to assign both an IPv4
and an IPv6 address to an interface? If you are using your
distribution's network config tools, the answer is
distribution-dependent. For example, on Debian-based systems the name
'eth0' is used for both the IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 172.20.1.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.20.1.0
broadcast 172.20.1.255
iface eth2 inet6 static
address 2001:470:b:787::1
netmask 64
Manually, you can simply use 'ip addr add' the same way as you would
for IPv4.
