For static IP configurations, use this syntax:
ip=<address>::[gateway]:<netmask>:[hostname]:<interface>:none
Gateway and hostname are optional. Netmask can be a mask ('255.255.255.0') or a prefix ('64'). For example:
ip=[2001:838:375:2::70]::[2001:838:375:2::1]:64::eth0:none
- 'ipv6=' was/is documented as the way to configure ipv6 addresses manually. Although apparently this option is no longer supported, using this option must not crash the installation process. - I tried the option described in comment 1, but it does not configure the interface properly and eventually drops me in a dracut debug shell. As I am not familiar with the dracut shell I don't know how to collect information as to what exactly goes wrong. I can reproduce this, so any directions on how to go from here are welcome. (In reply to comment #1) > For static IP configurations, use this syntax: > > ip=<address>::[gateway]:<netmask>:[hostname]:<interface>:none > > Gateway and hostname are optional.

For example: > > ip=[2001:838:375:2::70]::[2001:838:375:2::1]:64::eth0:none In the current F 17 release, when I us this syntax it looks like anaconda recognizes this addresses as if they where IPv4 addresses. In the ifcfg-<iface> file I see: IPADDR="2001:838:375:2::70" GATEWAY="2001:838:375:2::1" PREFIX="64" This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
