6.3. Removing an IPv6 address

Not so often needed, be carefully with removing non existent IPv6 address, sometimes using older kernels it results in a crash.

6.3.1. Using "ip"

Usage: 

# /sbin/ip -6 addr del <ipv6address>/<prefixlength> dev <interface>

Example: 

# /sbin/ip -6 addr del 3ffe:ffff:0:f101::1/64 dev eth0

6.3.2. Using "ifconfig"

Usage: 

# /sbin/ifconfig <interface> inet6 del <ipv6address>/<prefixlength>

Example: 

# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 del 3ffe:ffff:0:f101::1/64
