Description Sander Zuidema 2014-07-13 10:12:48 UTC

On a network interface with both a (static) ipv4 and ipv6 address, both network.target and network-online.target are reacheu while the requested ipv6 address (or addresses) are still tentative.

On my system, this causes nginx service to fail during boot as it cannot bind the requested ipv6 address yet. Manually starting the service later on works as expected.

IMHO at least network.online target should only be reached when all (as opposed to just one) requested Addresses have been succesfully confirmed.

What program are you using to configure the network?

Comment 2 Sander Zuidema 2014-07-14 12:08:34 UTC

I'm using systemd-networkd with a straightforward static configuration, so...

- One single ipv4 address
- A handful of ipv6 addresses

With fictional ip addresses, the .network file looks like this

[Match]
Name=en*

[Network]
DHCP=none
Address=101.01.01.010/27
Gateway=100.11.00.110
Address=2a01:4f8:191:c0de::babe/64
Address=2a01:4f8:191:c0de::1337/64
(etc)
Gateway=fe80::1
