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?

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?
