As with IPv4, IPv6 routes belong to a specific routing table. ip -6 route show will only display the routes found in the "main" table. See `ip -6 rule` for a list of IPv6 tables being lookup up. Then dispaly the contents of each table using the command `ip -6 route show table <name>`. You may found the routes you are lacking in the `local` table. Please note that `route' may not display all routes as it relies on the routes being exported via /proc which is not done for all routes. Do you still see different sets of routes? Any news on this? Closed based on comment #1, please reopen if you think the problem is real. |
Created attachment 344879 [details] Example of differing route entries produced by route and ip Description of problem: When viewing IPv6 routing tables using route and ip, different sets of routes are produced. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux jawa01.englab.brq.redhat.com 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Feb 19 07:33:17 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install iproute2 package 2. display ipv6 routes using route /sbin/route -A inet6 3. display ipv6 routes using ip /sbin/ip -6 route show Actual results: The two sets of IPv6 routing entries are different Expected results: The two sets of IPv6 routing entries should be the same. Additional info: I have attached some sample output from a RHEL 5 machine.
