014.01.32.4. Could you elaborate on the command syntax and parameters used for binding an interface to the internet layer with the "ip address add" command? How does this process differ for IPv6?
To add an IP address and subnet for a kernel network interface, we use the command:
ip address add address/ subnet dev interface
Here interface is the name of physical interface such as elp4s0 or eth0. For IPv6, we need to add certain parameters as link-local,global,lo,etc to know which type of network it is.
To bind an IP address and subnet to a kernel network interface using the ip address add command, the syntax is as follows:
ip address add address/subnet dev interface
Here, interface represents the name of the physical interface (e.g., enp4s0 or eth0).
When dealing with IPv6, additional parameters such as scope may be used to specify the type of network, including link-local or global. Additionally, lo can be used to specify the loopback interface. The complete syntax may look like:
ip address add address/subnet scope <type> dev interface
These parameters help define the characteristics of the IPv6 address and its association with the network interface.
