Three-interface system fails to add one IPv6 address
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Three Ethernet interfaces, as defined in /etc/network/
enp4s0: driver tg3, IPv4 132.205.9.46, IPv6 fd51:20d9:5ad2:b::2
enp5s4: driver e1000, IPv4 132.205.9.50, IPv6 fd51:20d9:5ad2:c::2
enp5s5: driver e1000, IPv4 132.205.9.53, IPv6 fd51:20d9:5ad2:d::1
All statically configured.
enp4s0 and enp5s5 come up normally, and acquire both the IPv4 and IPv5 addresses. enp5s4 acquires the IPv4 address, but not the IPv6 address (as shown by 'ifconfig').
Using journalctl -xe, I can show that enp4s0 is initially named eth0, and then renamed enp4s0. enp5s4 is initially named eth0, and then renamed enp5s4. enp5s5 is initially named eth1, and then renamed enp5s5. This double use of eth0 concerns me, although the name eth0 appears to be free at the time that the second interface is discovered.
Extracting the information for enp4s0, enp5s4 and enp5s5 and comparing, when enp5s4 becomes 'ready', the next message is 'Ritchie sh[574]: Failed to bring up enp5s4.'
Complete logs can be made available if they will be useful, along with images of /etc/network/
