Bug 187514 – No way to set static IPv6 route in /etc/conf.d/net with baselayout2?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kolbjørn Barmen 2007-08-02 15:07:35 UTC]

Static IPv6 routes in /etc/conf.d/net with baselayout2 do not work.

Earlier "default via xx:yy:zz::1" in routes_eth0 section worked, now I get "xx:yy:zz:1: Unknown host" (or something similar).

This is sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_alpha4, I admit I have not testet rc1 yet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up static IPv6 address in /etc/conf.d/net
2. Set up static IPv6 route in /etc/conf.d/net
3. /etc/init.d/net.whatever restart

Actual Results:  
No IPv6 route set, error message from initscript about IPv6-router being unknown host.

Expected Results:  
Default IPv6 route set, as with command
route add -Ainet6 default gw xx:yy:zz::1


I have explicitly turned off accept_ra for all my interfaces, I specifically want to use static IPv6 addresses and routing.
