    Help with manually configuring a static IPv6 network

    Hi,

    I have a private OpenStack environment which works fine apart from IPv6. I’m trying to setup an IPv6 network whereby 3 VMs can talk to each other over IPv6. The DHCP element is not working but I should apparently be able to statically configure. However I have no idea how to achieve this. Is this something someone can help with?

    andy@ap-ipv6-demo-01:~$ ip a

      In Settings go to Network & Internet and click the Properties button for the interface you wish to configure. Click the Edit button under IP settings, change the configuration type to Manual, enable IPv6, and populate your settings
