Hi,
I have a tunnel setup to my Linksys E3200. Everything works perfectly, all my computers are being assigned IPv6 addresses from my /64. I wish to assign another IPv6 address to my Ubuntu machine on the network. This machine is already getting a IPv6 address assigned by the router. Is there a way to also assign a static IPv6 address alongside the dynamic one?

Thanks

ip addr add i:p:v:6::address dev devname

and alternatively, in /etc/network/interfaces

Perfect, I didn't know for sure if that would route. I can just manually add static IPv6 addresses as needed?

Thanks!

Yep...as long as the addresses are in the same /64 you don't need to do any extra routing.  The only time you need to do some routing is if you're using something from your /48 and your host has no idea where the next hop is
