persist config on reboot centos/redhat

[garywsmith]

I'm trying to persist the network config across a service network restart.  I figured I could just add a ifcfg-sit0/1 but that seems to be more difficult that I anticipated.  I fould one link that said to do:

# Hurricane Electric V6V4 tunnel
NAME="Hurricane Electric SIT"
DEVICE=sit1
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
PEERDNS=no

IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL=yes
IPV6ADDR=2001:470:1f04:15dc::2/64
# IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=""
IPV6_MTU=1280
IPV6_ROUTER=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no

IPV6_CONTROL_RADVD=yes
IPV6TUNNELIPV4=72.52.104.74
IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=65.19.179.2

PHYSDEV=br0
TYPE=sit
DEVICETYPE=sit
NM_CONTROLLED=no


but that doesn't seem to fix it.  Does anyone have any ifcfg-sit[01] config examples for this?

Thanks.

here's what i got in mine and its works great although i don't have it setup as a router as its a standalone server.
"ifcfg-sit1"

Code Select Expand

NAME=""
BOOTPROTO=none
IPV6TUNNELIPV4=TUNNEL-SERVER-IPV4
IPV6INIT=yes
DEVICE=sit1
MTU=""
NETMASK=""
IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL="YOUR-IP"
BROADCAST=""
IPV6ADDR="YOUR-TUNNEL-IPV6"
IPADDR=""
NETWORK=""
ONBOOT=yes
i also got this in "ifcfg-eth0"

Code Select Expand

IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=IPV6-FROM-YOUR-ROUTED-/64

hope that helps

[garywsmith]

This resolved it.  Thanks.

What should ifcfg-sit0 look like?

I think my box is getting the wrong IPv4 address (2 network cards) and want to manually create the file, i have done the ifcfg-sit1 file but not sure on sit0

Thanks

I think i have the config sorted but not sure if the route is set correctly

I get destination unreachable errors from ping6.

[cholzhauer]

You should use an address out of your routed /64 for eth0

still struggling along with this.

The sit1 v6 address looks incorrect but it is set in the ifcfg file

If anyone could shed some light on this that would be fantastic

[cholzhauer]

You have the wrong address on eth0.  That address is out of your tunnel /64, but your routed /64.  Check your tunnel detail page for the other subnet

[ag33k]

yeah i spotted that just a second ago, still no joy
