- Create a connection to work with eth1:
#nmcli con add con-name eth1 type Ethernet ifname eth1
- Check to see the created connection:
#nmcli con show
- Assign the connection an IPv6 address:
#nmcli con mod eth1 ipv6.addresses fddb:fe2a:ab1e::c0a8:64/64
- Make sure the interface is up:
#ifup eth1
- Test Pingability:
#ping6 –I eth1 fddb:fe2a:ab1e::c0a8:64/64
