OCI Configure IPv6 Using NetworkManager

Applies To:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later

Linux x86-64

Goal:

Configure the IPv6 Instance Interfaces using NetworkManager cli tools: nmcli

This document assumes that NetworkManager is installed.

Solution:

This document assume that an IPv6 address has been assigned to the VNIC associated with and attached to the instance

  • Enable IPv6 router advertisements.

For DHCPv6, the “Router Advertisement” packet is what the gateway sends, RAs provide the prefix and default gateway to the instance, which then uses that prefix to auto-configure the interface on that network.  There are no DHCP configuration files on the OCI instance.
