api error, duplicate IPv6 address

[zshrocks]

If you have multiple v6 addresses on an interface the webui errors, stating there are duplicate IPv6 addresses while there are not. The following network interfaces file yields the screenshotted error.

# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

Hi,
please try to use aliases instead, multiple address are currently not supported by our parsers [0]:

iface mgmt:0 inet6 static
    addr ...
   
iface mgmt:1 inet6 static
    addr ...

Further, you should preferably set the IP addresses on the bridge and in your example using a regular Linux bridge over the OVS bridge is recommended.
