Hi community,

I'm running a gentoo server with IPv4/6 dualstack and at boot, only ipv4 works. Right after booting the server:

Code:

hetzner ~ # ifconfig -a
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 5.9.65.135  netmask 255.255.255.224  broadcast 5.9.65.159
        inet6 fe80::ca60:ff:febe:41dd  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether c8:60:00:be:41:dd  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 122  bytes 14359 (14.0 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 4  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 115  bytes 16190 (15.8 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 0  (Local Loopback)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0


Code:

hetzner ~ # dmesg | grep eth0
[    7.821911] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: RTL8168f/8111f at 0xffffc90014798000, c8:60:00:be:41:dd, XID 08000880 IRQ 43

Restarting eth0 brings IPv6 up:

Code:

Network configuration is:

Code:

hetzner ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net

modules="iproute2"

config_eth0="
        5.9.65.135/27
        2a01:4f8:161:7088::2/64
        "

routes_eth0="
        default via 5.9.65.129
        default via fe80::1
        "

dns_servers_eth0="
        213.133.98.98
        213.133.99.99
        213.133.100.100
        2a01:4f8:0:a0a1::add:1010
        2a01:4f8:0:a102::add:9999
        2a01:4f8:0:a111::add:9898
        "


Any idea how to get ipv6 working without restarting eth0?

Hi,
if I remember correctly I had some IPV6 related warnings/errors during boot as well, due to the fact that the IPV6 module was not yet loaded at this point in time. I solved this by not compiling IPV6 as module.

Best Regards,
Holger
