[bitfolk] Re: IPv6 articles on wiki updated

I thought that I would do this address change while it is fresh. I do not want to remove the old address until I have updated other config (eg DNS [forward & back], whois) and had that propagate - so both must work for a while. I set the new address thus: ip address add 2a0a:1100:1012::114 dev enX0 Why :114 - the IPv4 address is 85.119.82.114 so having the last component the same helps my head in understanding that they both belong to the same machine. That works and I can ssh into it. I am running Debian so I added this into /etc/network/interfaces, I will remove the old iface enX0 when this is all done. iface enX0 inet6 static address 2a0a:1100:1012::114 netmask 48 gateway 2001:ba8:1f1:f0e3::1 # These commands disable IPv6 autoconfiguration because we are statically # configuring it above. pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/accept_ra || true pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra || true pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/$IFACE/accept_ra || true pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/autoconf || true pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf || true pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/$IFACE/autoconf || true I copied the old one and changed: address & netmask [ 64 -> 48] The stansa that concerns me is 'gateway' - above is a copy of the old one, what should I set this to ?
