IPv6 static config
Hey guys,
I've got a problem which I'm stuck at a bit..
I have an IPv6 /64 range set on my linode and tried setting that IPv6 as static config but for some reason it fails.
I'm running Debian..
This is the /etc/network/interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopbacksource /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 178.79.163.135/24
gateway 178.79.163.1
up ip addr add 192.168.195.151/17 dev eth0 label eth0:1
down ip addr del 192.168.195.151/17 dev eth0 label eth0:1IPv6 gateway and primary address.
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe93:84c3/64
gateway fe80::1IPv6 secondary address (in assigned block).
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2a01:7e00:e000:0301::1/64
The result is if I restart linode via linode manager, everything dies.. Emails do no longer work, web does not work and I of course cannot login via SSH anymore.. I have to enable network helper so that it resets this file and then it works.
What on earth am I missing here?

Hi @lessthanweb - The first thing that stands out to me is these lines:
up ip addr add 192.168.195.151/17 dev eth0 label eth0:1
down ip addr del 192.168.195.151/17 dev eth0 label eth0:1
Try removing them and see if that'll work for you. If not, you don't have to reboot with network helper just log in via Lish:

We have a guide on static IP configuration here that may help for reference:

@mjones Sorry for slow response..
I've removed the two lines and it's the same thing.. After reboot I cannot login via SSH anymore or login to email and so on..
I can login via Lish..
After reboot this is how things are:
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopbacksource /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 178.79.163.135/24
gateway 178.79.163.1IPv6 gateway and primary address.
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe93:84c3/64
gateway fe80::1IPv6 secondary address (in assigned block).
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2a01:7e00:e000:0301::1/64
After reboot if I execute the following commands, this is what the output is..
ip addr | grep inet
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
ip -6 r
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
default via fe80::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 onlink pref medium
I have no idea what else to do or look at..
I've followed the guides but this is the result..
Any help from someone please..
