Centos - add additional IPv6 address?

[bombcar]

I have everything working fine, my Centos 5 box gets an advertised IPv6 prefix and route, and everything is fine.

However, I want additional addresses. I can add them manually via:

Code Select Expand

ip -6 addr add 2001:xxx:xxx:5::2/64 dev eth0

after boot, but I want it to do it automatically.

I tried following this but it didn't work. I don't want to manually assign everything (I want the automatic configuration to still happen), but I do want to add the extra address. Is my only hope to stick the ip command into /etc/rc.local?

That's what I ended up doing on a BSD system (Yeah, I know you're on CentOS)  It's worked well for me and I haven't had any problems

You couldn't add them to rc.conf?

I probably could have, but I was already using rc.local for routing commands, so I just dumped them all in there

you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever your interface is)

and use the IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES

I just tested mine and it works (Centos6 and Centos 5)

I did that and it didn't come up. I'll try again.
