Feb 13, 2022 · hev

This is an example shows how to make IP address label persistent by systemd-networkd.

/etc/systemd/network/eth0.network:

[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
Address=192.168.0.1/24
Gateway=192.168.0.254
DNS=192.168.0.254

[IPv6AddressLabel]
Label=100
Prefix=2409::/16

[IPv6AddressLabel]
Label=100
Prefix=2606::/16

It’s successful if you can see labels that you configured:

ip addrl

prefix ::1/128 label 0
prefix ::/96 label 3
prefix ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 label 4
prefix 2001::/32 label 6
prefix 2001:10::/28 label 7
prefix 2606::/16 dev br0 label 100
prefix 2409::/16 dev br0 label 100
prefix 3ffe::/16 label 12
prefix 2002::/16 label 2
prefix fec0::/10 label 11
prefix fc00::/7 label 5
prefix ::/0 label 1
