How to Set a Static IPv6 Address on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Using Netplan
Setting a static IPv6 address on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS helps your server stay reachable. Netplan is the tool you will use. Follow these easy steps.

Why Use a Static IPv6 Address?

A static IPv6 address does not change.
It helps your server always have the same address.
This is important for web servers, email servers, and remote access.

What You Need
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed
- IPv6 working on your network
- Your IPv6 address, prefix (like /64), gateway, and DNS servers
- Root or sudo access
Step 1: Find Your Network Interface

Open a terminal.
Type:
```
ip a
```
Look for your network name, like ens33, eth0, or enp0s3.

Step 2: Backup Your Netplan File

Before making changes, make a backup.
Type:
```
sudo cp /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml.bak
```
Step 3: Edit the Netplan File

Open the file to edit:
```
sudo nano /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml
```
Add or update your IPv6 settings.
Change the example values to match your info.
```
network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    ens33:
      dhcp6: no
      addresses:
        - 2001:db8::1001/64
      gateway6: 2001:db8::1
      nameservers:
        addresses:
          - 2001:4860:4860::8888
          - 2001:4860:4860::8844
```
Tip: Make sure the spaces match the example. YAML needs correct indentation.

Step 4: Test and Apply

Test your new setup:
```
sudo netplan try
```
If it works, apply the change:
```
sudo netplan apply
```
Step 5: Check Your Address and Connection

Check your address:
```
ip -6 addr show
```
Test the connection:
```
ping6 google.com
```
Tips for Success
- Always backup before making changes.
- Write down your settings.
- Have console access in case you get locked out.
Now your server uses a static IPv6 address on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Netplan.
Your server will have a reliable address for all your needs.

Empowering Deaf Individuals to Achieve Career Success Beyond SSI Benefits

Certainly! Here’s a refined and enhanced version of your text: — Things are different now—I no longer feel overwhelmed or defined by that old image. My work has become a bridge for communication, especially with the help of live transcription apps on my phone. It’s simply not true that a lack of formal education is an insurmountable barrier. Look at me: I’ve learned quickly and effectively, both through my job and from life itself. I don’t experience discrimination; I use both voice and sign language simultaneously. This blending of hearing and Deaf cultures is empowering for me. To be honest, the old picture feels like it’s making excuses for being Deaf, and that concerns me. Please remember—it’s never too late. If you work hard and stay persistent, you can achieve success in just a few months. To everyone in Deaf culture: push yourself, explore different paths, and find a job you truly love. Don’t rely on SSI benefits as your only option. Employment offers so much more—it provides: – Medical insurance – Dental insurance – Vision insurance – 401(k) retirement plans (at some workplaces) – Paid time off (PTO) – And many other valuable benefits So, I urge young people: don’t settle for staying at home on SSI. There is so much potential out there waiting for you. Think deeply about your choices—your hard work will open doors that SSI never could.
