To fix the issue, I added the `Auto` config method variant to the `NetworkConfigMethod` enum. This fixed the error in the web GUI, but when editing the interface through the UI, the `inet6 (auto)` family was still being removed. For example, if I updated only the comment for the interface, the `auto` method was dropped. This happened because, when editing the interface without providing `cidr6` or `gateway6` values, the config method was being replaced with `Manual` regardless of the current `inet6` method from the existing config. Later, when writing the config to interfaces.new file if the config method was `Manual` and there were no values present inside the `inet6` block, then the entire stanza was removed. To fix this, the `inet6` config method is now set to `Manual` only if the interface method6 prop does not already have a value. changes since v1: Thanks @chris - added `fixes` trailer. - fixed typo s/Inorder/In order - api: fixed inet6 stanza getting dropped. #### Testing - added a new bridge interface from the web UI. - manually added inet6 (auto) address family to /etc/network/interfaces file for the bridge interface. - now from web ui, added a comment for the same interface. - verified if the block is getting removed. The comment was added and the block not getting removed. - Now updated the vmbr0 IPv4/CIDR value. - verified if the method changed from manual to static. - updated the vmbr0 IPv6/CIDR value. - verified if the method changed from auto to static. proxmox: Shan Shaji (1): fix #7329: proxmox-network-api: add missing `Auto` network config method proxmox-network-api/src/api_types.rs | 2 ++ proxmox-network-api/src/config/mod.rs | 1 + proxmox-network-api/src/config/parser.rs | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 46 insertions(+) proxmox-backup: Shan Shaji (1): fix #7329: api: avoid overwriting existing IPv6 config method src/api2/node/network.rs | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Summary over all repositories: 4 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) -- Generated by git-murpp 0.8.1
