Manually Assign Global IPv6 Address
An XCCDF Rule
Description
To manually assign an IP address for an interface, edit the
file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-interface. Add or correct the
following line (substituting the correct IPv6 address):
IPV6ADDR=2001:0DB8::ABCD/64Manually assigning an IP address is preferable to accepting one from routers or from the network otherwise. The example address here is an IPv6 address reserved for documentation purposes, as defined by RFC3849.
