B.6.3 Configuring virtual interfaces with tagged VLAN (Logical IP takeover, Synchronous switching)

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

The xx and yy in the figure below are assigned automatically by the automatic address configuration.

For the network configuration other than GLS, refer to "3.2.2 Network configuration".

Note

An example of configuring /etc/radvd.conf to use Linux server as an IPv6 router is described below. For details on /etc/radvd.conf, refer to radvd.conf(5) manual. Do not configure radvd on the server running NIC switching mode.

  1. On /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ethX file (ethX refers to an interface name), define a statement allows to activate the entire interfaces during the system startup. The following is an example of ifcfg-eth0.

    Note

    The following setting example (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX) is for RHEL5. For details, see "3.2.2 Network configuration".

    • Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

      DEVICE=eth0
      BOOTPROTO=static
      HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
      HOTPLUG=no
      ONBOOT=yes
      TYPE=Ethernet
  2. When the system is RHEL, on /etc/sysconfig/network file, define a statement allows the system to load IPv6 module.

    NETWORKING=yes
    NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
    IPV6TO4INIT=no
  3. Create /etc/radvd.conf file and define the following on the interface radvd uses. Depending on the versions of radvd, you must define the kernel parameter (net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1) on /etc/sysctl.conf file. For details on this configuration, see radvd.conf(5) or radvd(8) manual.

    interface eth0
    {
            AdvSendAdvert on;          # Sending router advertisements
            MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
            MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
            prefix fec0:1::0/64        # Sending Prefix fec0:1::0/64 from eth0
            {
                    AdvOnLink on;
                    AdvAutonomous on;
                    AdvRouterAddr on;
            };
    };
  4. Reboot the system. Make sure radvd process is running after rebooting the system.
