Hello team,  
I assinged the IPV6 for added dpmac  
eth2: flags=4099\<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST\> mtu 1500  
inet 2.2.2.3 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 2.255.255.255  
inet6 fe80::a8da:79ff:fe59:6163 prefixlen 62 scopeid 0x20  
ether aa:da:79:59:61:63 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)  
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)  
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0  
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)  
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

But the self ping is failing  
root@localhost:~# ping fe80::a8da:79ff:fe59:6163%eth2  
PING fe80::a8da:79ff:fe59:6163%eth2(fe80::a8da:79ff:fe59:6163%eth2) 56 data bytes  
ping: sendmsg: Cannot assign requested address  
ping: sendmsg: Cannot assign requested address  
ping: sendmsg: Cannot assign requested address

which is working for the default eth0 .  
any changes need to be made so that i can enable IPV6 for other ethernet interface.
