Re: Is it possible to configure an IPv6 nexthop for IPv4 routes?

 

Hi Andy,

thank you very much for reaching out. The requested setup is not currently
possible with Netplan.
But it seems to be possible with newer versions of systemd-networkd (v252+).

I've created a feature request for you on Netplan's issue tracker:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/2083945

Feel free to add any additional context that you might have to that issue.

Regards,
  Lukas
