Description

The current console menu only allows for IPv4 interface configuration. We need to add support for IPv6 interface configuration as well.

Interface configs are not applied correctly for v4 in certain situations, like reassignment.

That second bit about v4 already has a ticket - #2074

implemented in c1361a9f

I've done basic testing but this needs a lot more testing than i'm able to do so i'm reassigning to you.

OPtion 2 Set interface IP address.
When configuring interface WAN, as dhcp and dhcp6 I get the url http://dhcp/ displayed
When configuring interface WAN for dhcp6 it does not set $config['interfaces']['wan']['ipaddrv6'] to dhcp6. Are you confused with the dhcp6 server? Displayed as IPv6 None in the UI.
Setting the WAN address to a static IPv6 address works. Correctly listed as Static IPv6 in the UI.
Tried to set to dhcp6 again, still set to Static IPv6. I think it's not setting the tag.

Feature++:
- IP configuration
- show list of types for IPv4. 1 - DHCP, 2 - Static, 3 - PPPoE (pppoe needs usernames and things too)
- Add IPv4 gateway for Static
- show list of types for IPv6. 1 - DHCP6, 2 - Static, 3- 6to4, 4 - 6rd
- Add IPv6 gateway for Static

Although we don't need all of the possible configuration types we do need to be able to add the static gateway for IPv4 and IPv6 since that has been sorely missed for over a year now.

Basically that entails shooting a new gateway entry into $config['gateways'];

print_r($config['gateways']);
Array
(    [gateway_item] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [interface] => wan
                    [gateway] => $ipv4address
                    [name] => GW_WAN //Make up a name here
                    [weight] => 1
                    [ipprotocol] => inet // inet for IPv4, inet6 for IPv6
                    [interval] => 
                    [descr] => Interface wan Gateway // Add silly description
                    [defaultgw] =>  // This bit needs to be set to true if this is the 1st IPv4 and IPv6 gateway on the system
                )
)

Hope this helps

When configuring interface WAN, as dhcp and dhcp6 I get the url http://dhcp/ displayed

Now should be showing IPv6 webConfigurator URLs (i.e., http://dhcp6/ in your case) along with the IPv4 ones. See b3cb233f.

When configuring interface WAN for dhcp6 it does not set $config['interfaces']['wan']['ipaddrv6'] to dhcp6. Are you confused with the dhcp6 server? Displayed as IPv6 None in the UI.

Should be fixed now in bfaafe28.

Tried to set to dhcp6 again, still set to Static IPv6. I think it's not setting the tag.

I'm actually going to just hope that one of my changes above fixed this. Please test and report back. If you're still experiencing this particular problem, then clarify what needs to be set and isn't being set, please. Thanks!

Another new feature for the console menu to clarify console configuration. With the last as it is now, it is hard to see which assigned interface ties into which real interface. With my configuration on my soekris the menu has already scrolled off the screen at this point to peek.

1 - WAN
2 - LAN
3 - WLANC
4 - OPT2
5 - WLANAP
6 - WANIPV6
7 - SIXXSV6
8 - 3G

Add the real interface after the friendly interface name 1 - WAN (vr1) 2 - LAN (vr0) 8 - 3G (ppp0)
Maybe add the existing configured settings for a interface? e.g. static, staticv6, dhcp etc.

Note that http://dhcp and http://dhcp6 are not valid, it appears to be almost right.
http://192.168.2.254:/

there is a colon in there, but I'm wondering where my port 8888 went.

3 - OPT1 (em2 - static, staticv6)
4 - OPT2 (em3)
5 - OPT3 (ppp0)
6 - OPT4 (usbus0 - dhcp, dhcp6)

Enter the number of the interface you wish to configure:

Okay, you can set gateway IP addresses from the command line now. See config:c63e3594 and config:d23b53eb.

Punting back to you for further testing, Seth.
