I'm trying use all my /64 block IPv6 IPs on my machine. I ran into this post on serverfault

Can I bind a (large) block of addresses to an interface?

I have a VPS from Vultr running Debian 9

Below is the image related to my IPv6 block

enter image description here

I executed the following command

ip route add local 2001:19f0:9002:a32::/64 dev lo

but I can not connect with any of the IPv6 IPs to ssh

  • `lo` might be the wrong network device. Did you try the ethernet device? – blafasel Sep 30 '17 at 13:54
  • @blafasel when I replace lo with ens3 I get "RTNETLINK answers: File exists " – Arya Sep 30 '17 at 14:40
  • @blafasel Routes of type `local` only work if they are configured on the `lo` interface. The problem is that the prefix is a link prefix and not a routed prefix. The linked question has a workaround for that. – kasperd Sep 30 '17 at 21:02
