Good afternoon,
I am trying to generate an image for a Raspberry Pi 3 that includes a
`/etc/network/interfaces` file which causes the Pi to start with an "up" eth0
connection with only an IPv6 link local address.
The Pi will be connected to an active switch on boot so the copper ethernet
interface will by electrically up. So far I have found that unless I set a
static IPv4 address or connect to a network that uses DHCP to handout IPv4
addresses by eth0 interface does not come up on boot. Based on reading the
interfaces man page I have attempted the following variations I in the
interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth0 inet6 manual
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet6 manual
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet6 static
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet6 manual
autoconf 1
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth0 inet6 manual
autoconf 1
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth0 inet6 auto
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet manual
iface eth0 inet6 auto
This could well be a more general problem with my understanding of how to write
IPv6 interface files than something specific to the Raspberry Pi running a
Yocto build. It is much easier for me to send this email question now though,
before I start trying to mess around with the same settings on my Ubunut PC to
see if I can get the behaviour I want out of that.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatfully received.
