I don't understand why my systemd network config doesn't set up ipv6 gateway route, XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and YYYY:YYYY:YYYY:YYYY:: are always the same ip. My server is hosted by OVH:
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
DHCP=false
DNS=91.121.161.184
DNS=91.121.164.227
Address=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/24
Gateway=XXX.XXX.XXX.254
DNS=2001:41d0:1:e2b8::1
DNS=2001:41d0:1:e5e3::1
Address=YYYY:YYYY:YYYY:YYYY::/64
Gateway=YYYY:YYYY:YYYY:YYFF:FF:FF:FF:FF
This correctly work for ivp4:
