IPv6 Address Configuration And Default IPv6 Address With CentOS 6.8?

Hello,

when I have this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

TYPE=Ethernet NAME=eth0
NM_CONTROLLED=no ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
… IPV6INIT=yes IPV6ADDR=2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::10
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES=”2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::20 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::30
2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::40 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::50″
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::1
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0

I have a virtual server, and there are the alias addresses splitted, e.g. IPv6 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::40 is used by BIND (named, authoritativ DNS server)
IPv6 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::30 is used by MTA (postfix, DNS has this for MX
of this domain)
IPv6 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::20 and 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::10 are used by Apache (httpd)

and this is also splitted in the firewallconfig ip6tables

-A INPUT -d 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::30 -m tcp -p tcp –dport 25 -m state
–state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp –dport 25 -j DROP

-A INPUT -d 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::40 -m tcp -p tcp –dport 53 -m state
–state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -d 2001:DB8:DEAD:BEEF::40 -m udp -p udp –dport 53 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp –dport 53 -j DROP
-A INPUT -m udp -p udp –dport 53 -j DROP

where can I define which IPv6 address is used as source IP, when doing e.g. wget …
SSH …
… | mail test@example.com

Thanks, Walter

  • on wget, its –bind-address on ssh, its -b xxxx

    mail will, afaik, forward the eemail to your local MTA, which in turn will decide what to do with it, so its your MTA that would need to be configured with a bind address, that would be postfix or whatever.

  • Thanks, I see, programs do it their way, and there is no global setting like
    “use xxxx”;
