What assistance would you like?? The error is VERY clear...you have another IPv6 address on your network. Either change this host, or change the other one.

And have you contacted RHEL support??? You're PAYING FOR RHEL, RIGHT? You've been asked about this many times in the past, but don't ever address it. You also haven't followed up in many of your other threads.

If you are not using IPv6 then simply disable it with:

Code:

IPV6INIT=no

Then, down/up the interface...

Hi,

Thanks

Even after changing IPV6INIT=no iam getting the same error.

Did you down and up the interface?

R.N.RAM KANNAN · 10-18-2018, 06:25 AM

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

Yes. Even i rebooted the server once.

Thanks for ignoring my reply, again. You were asked specifically:

Are you paying for RHEL?? Because this is a *KNOWN BUG* that has been fixed with a patch. And again...unless you PAY FOR RHEL, you won't get that patch.
Are you using IPv6?? You didn't say yes or no. Are you?
What, if *ANY* basic research have you done?

If you don't want to answer there's little point in posting. You can look up this bug in the Red Hat knowledgebase, or (AGAIN) contact RHEL support. You've been here for nine years, and don't ever seem to want to answer questions, or follow up with details. You can also set ipv6 DAD to 0, which will remove that message, but leave the underlying security problem/bug that was fixed by Red Hat.

The very one, but was going to leave that for the OP to look up.

Some reason you couldn't tell us/answer the question, when you were asked if you were using IPv6???
