I have a ipv6 tunnel interface, that is using my network connection on eth0. when I turn on my system something messes up the things and I have no ipv6 connectivity.
The system is Ubuntu 14.04 server
this is what happens:
- bootup
- eth0 goes up, then search for DHCP (not a parameter that I can control, amazon uses DHCP)
- ipv6 interface goes up but cannot setup the tunnel correctly because eth0 isn't fully up (I suppose).
- eth0 does not have the ipv6 address assigned and find no ipv6 route
- nginx search to allocate ipv6 address to the first site and fail, exiting.
So I have to login, delete all the routes and bring up the interfaces in the correct order with:
- ifup eth0
- ifup he-ipv6
- service nginx restart
this is my /network/interfaces file
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto he-ipv6
iface he-ipv6 inet6 v4tunnel
address 2001:470:1f0a:******
netmask 64
endpoint 216.66.*****
local 172.********
up ip -6 route add default dev he-ipv6
down ip -6 route del default dev he-ipv6
post-up ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:470:*******
How can I configure the system to achieve ipv6 connectivity without manual intervention?
Thank you in advance!
