| 2 | Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod |
| 5 | or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either the |
| 6 | /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf configuration file, or in a |
| 7 | distro-specific configuration file. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter |
| 10 | is not specified the default value is used. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The parameters are as follows: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | disable |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all |
| 17 | its functionality. This might be used when another module |
| 18 | has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no |
| 19 | IPv6 addresses or operations are desired. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The possible values and their effects are: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | 0 |
| 24 | IPv6 is enabled. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | This is the default value. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | 1 |
| 29 | IPv6 is disabled. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and |
| 32 | it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | A reboot is required to enable IPv6. |
