I figured out that, by default, each network interface gets automatically brought up with a link local addresses based on a MAC address.
From one server, I can succesfully "ping6 -i <interface> ipv6 address" ofanother server, without really having to do anything myself. But I have to explicitly specify the network interface via the -i parameter. I see no equivalent of the IPv6 routing table, for IPv6, so what steps are needed to have the system know which network interface to use, for a given IPv6 address?
If I want to assign an explicit IPv6 address to an interface, rather than the default one, what do I put into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface>? One of my servers is headless. Can't run system-config-network, or some other purty GUI, I need to know what manually needs to be stuffed into initscripts.
Once I wrap my brain around these basics, I think I'll be able to figure out IPv6 DHCP by myself.
