I am trying to setup an IPv6 network.
I modified the interfaces file:
/etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface etho0 inet static
address 2620:7:a000::1
netmask 64
gateway ::ffff:c0a8:101
ifconfig shows this
root@server1:/home/server1# ifconfig

I am totally confused
To add to my confusion:
root@server1:/home/server1# host -t AAAA www.cyberciti.biz
www.cyberciti.biz has no AAAA record
root@server1:/home/server1# lsmod | grep -qw ipv6 && echo "IPv6 kernel driver loaded and configured." || echo "IPv6 not configured and/or driver loaded on the system."
IPv6 not configured and/or driver loaded on the system.
