Python Paramiko And IPV6 SSH

I have to write a script that executes some commands on a remote machine using SSH. I had used paramiko for this and everything worked as long as I used IPv4 addressing. I had to s

Solution 1:

You have to specify the interface name as well.

ip6_addr = 'fe80::1112:bcde:789a:1234%<interface>'

Following example is valid IPv6:

ip6_addr = 'fe80::1112:bcde:789a:1234%eth0'

Solution 2:

On my Python2.7.9 (which is also not the latest) and paramiko-1.15.2, I have no Problems.

Have you tried upgrading paramiko?

pip install --upgrade paramiko

EDIT: Another idea, maybe your kernel does not support ipv6. How to test from userspace if the kernel supports IPv6?
