8 | Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time. | |

10 | Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod | |
970e2486 | 11 | or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either |
19093313 | 12 | ``/etc/modules.d/*.conf`` configuration files, or in a distro-specific |
970e2486 | 13 | configuration file. |

15 | The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter | |
16 | is not specified the default value is used. | |
17 | ||
18 | The parameters are as follows: | |
19 | ||
20 | disable | |
21 | ||
22 | Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all | |
23 | its functionality. This might be used when another module | |
24 | has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no | |
25 | IPv6 addresses or operations are desired. | |
26 | ||
27 | The possible values and their effects are: | |
28 | ||
29 | 0 | |
30 | IPv6 is enabled. | |
31 | ||
32 | This is the default value. | |
33 | ||
34 | 1 | |
35 | IPv6 is disabled. | |
36 | ||
37 | No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and | |
38 | it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket. | |
39 | ||
40 | A reboot is required to enable IPv6. | |
41 | ||

42 | autoconf |
43 | ||
44 | Specifies whether to enable IPv6 address autoconfiguration | |
45 | on all interfaces. This might be used when one does not wish | |
46 | for addresses to be automatically generated from prefixes | |
47 | received in Router Advertisements. | |
48 | ||
49 | The possible values and their effects are: | |
50 | ||
51 | 0 | |
52 | IPv6 address autoconfiguration is disabled on all interfaces. | |
53 | ||
54 | Only the IPv6 loopback address (::1) and link-local addresses | |
55 | will be added to interfaces. | |
56 | ||
