Hi all, i have a problem with IPv6 on host. I have following configuration: Quote: # network interface settings auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth1 inet manual iface eth0 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet6 static address 2a02:238:f019:412:1:1:1:1 netmask 64 gateway 2a02:238:f019:412:1:1:1:FF bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 auto vmbr0:0 iface vmbr0:0 inet static address 217.*.*.69 netmask 255.255.254.0 gateway 217.*.*.1 auto vmbr1 iface vmbr1 inet static address 10.11.12.61 netmask 255.255.0.0 bridge_ports eth1 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 if i restart the network service, i have following error message: Quote: /etc/init.d/networking restart Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not re-enable some interfaces ... (warning). Reconfiguring network interfaces... Waiting for vmbr0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 2 seconds). RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up vmbr0. Waiting for vmbr1 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 2 seconds). done. How can i solve this issue? Any ideas? thanks and regards
Which OS are you running? RTNETLINK answers: File exists usually means the interface already exists. Are you able to down the interface using ifconfig before attempting a restart?
Hi, thanks for your reply. i use debian wheezy. yes, i have ifdown eth0 and ifdown eth1 but same issue. vmbr0 i can´t set down, well it´s virtual, i think. do you have any ideas? regards
I'm not entirely sure. What does ifconfig -a output? A quick google search retrieved: http://bytefreaks.net/linux/bash/kvm-how-to-configure-a-brid ge-connection-in-ubuntu-11-10 Seems to have the same issue but solved it with a reboot. Seems like a basic question, but have you tried rebooting? Other than that, after you down the interfaces what does 'ip route' show?
