Subject: [afnog] setting permanent IPv6 address on linux


> I am trying to assign multiple IP addresses (both v4 and v6) on my box's
> (Redhat 9) NIC.
> Although I can add addresses and assign static routes using ifconfig eth0
> inet6 add command the system does not keep these settings after reboot: It
> only keeps the IPv4 addresses.
> The same holds true when I try to enable packet forwarding from the
> configuration files in
> /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/. After reboot, my
> settings are being replaced by the defaults.
> Does anybody know how to make these settings permanent?
