| Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time. |
| |
| Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod |
| or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either the |
| /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf configuration file, or in a |
| distro-specific configuration file. |
| |
| The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter |
| is not specified the default value is used. |
| |
| The parameters are as follows: |
| |
| disable |
| |
| Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all |
| its functionality. This might be used when another module |
| has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no |
| IPv6 addresses or operations are desired. |
| |
| The possible values and their effects are: |
| |
| 0 |
| IPv6 is enabled. |
| |
| This is the default value. |
| |
| 1 |
| IPv6 is disabled. |
| |
| No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and |
| it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket. |
| |
| A reboot is required to enable IPv6. |
| |
| autoconf |
| |
| Specifies whether to enable IPv6 address autoconfiguration |
| on all interfaces. This might be used when one does not wish |
| for addresses to be automatically generated from prefixes |
| received in Router Advertisements. |
| |
| The possible values and their effects are: |
| |
| 0 |
| IPv6 address autoconfiguration is disabled on all interfaces. |
| |
| Only the IPv6 loopback address (::1) and link-local addresses |
| will be added to interfaces. |
| |
| 1 |
| IPv6 address autoconfiguration is enabled on all interfaces. |
| |
| This is the default value. |
| |
| disable_ipv6 |
| |
| Specifies whether to disable IPv6 on all interfaces. |
| This might be used when no IPv6 addresses are desired. |
| |
| The possible values and their effects are: |
| |
| 0 |
| IPv6 is enabled on all interfaces. |
| |
| This is the default value. |
| |
| 1 |
| IPv6 is disabled on all interfaces. |
| |
| No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces. |
