IPv6 Configuration Issues
Linode
Linode Staff
Hello, we use the Network helper on our JETSITES server but the automatic configuration seems to have a problem with IPv6. Here is a simple ping test:
[root@localhost ~]# ping6 ipv6.google.com
connect: Cannot assign requested address
This error happens on every IPv6 ping. What might be causing this problem?

Here is a general overview of IPv6 for you to check out for reference:
