After many hours of googling, I'm coming to the forums with a question.

On a server that just recently had CentOS installed on it, bonded interfaces with vlans created, and IPv6 configured on the upstream switch I get the following info:


[root@server1A ~]# ip -6 route show

There's a lot that I'm ok with, but a lot that I'm not. For one, what's with all of the unreachable routes? They were there even before the server was connected to the switch. Another thing is why are there 2 default routes? The ipv6 address is the same for each default route, so why are they there?

Interface setup scenario.

I have eth01 and eth02 bonded together.

[root@server1A ~]# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1

and on top of bond1, I have vlan interfaces.

As you can see, each bonded vlan interface resides on its own network. The issue is that in the routing table on centos there are several default routes (link-local). Will having these defaults routes (which were added by router advertisements from the upstream router) have a detrimental effect on failover/appropriate routing of traffic through the segmented networks?

the other ipv6 thread was from 2007. i have been learning about ipv6 from so long and now is the time!

I got a perfect score on the IPv6 Eye Chart: http://ipv6eyechart.ripe.net/

It meant that my IPv6 connection was working just fine, so on that day when most of the Web will need to go dual-stack to accommodate the IPv6-only clients (and that later day when much of the Web will go IPv6-only), I'll be doing just fine.

yeah, I figured out the answer so I never answered my own thread.

built some test boxes & networks, and did some exploring. There is no detrimental effect.


and thanks for the bump.
