Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich univentionstaff 2014-08-23 21:36:51 CEST
A large hosting provider uses the address "fe80::1" as gateway. At least in 
UCS 3.2-3 errata3 it is not possible to set this gateway via UCR (ipv6/gateway="fe80::1"). The template for /etc/network/interfaces checks, if the address in in range of already defined/configured IPv6 subnets but the subnet fe80::/10 is not checked. Therefore the "gateway" entry is not written to the "interfaces" file.

Please note that link-local addresses from fe80::/10 are link specific and require an interface name to be unique.

Request:
It should be possible to define a gateway from fe80::/10 like this:
ucr set ipv6/gateway="fe80::/10%eth0"
Comment 1 Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich univentionstaff 2014-09-05 12:42:17 CEST
What I really meant was
ucr set ipv6/gateway="fe80::1%eth0"

My recommendation would be to skip the automatic interface detection for the gateway, if the interface is specified ("%" in ipv6/gateway), and instead simply using the specified interface.

FAIL: inter package dependency must be updated - otherwise all IPv6 addresses are temporary lost as no IPv6 config is generated in /etc/network/interfaces:
