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. | |
