| 8 | Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time. | |
| 9 | ||
| 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 | ||
| 56d417b1 BH |
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 | ||
| 57 | 1 | |
| 58 | IPv6 address autoconfiguration is enabled on all interfaces. | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | This is the default value. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | disable_ipv6 | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | Specifies whether to disable IPv6 on all interfaces. | |
| 65 | This might be used when no IPv6 addresses are desired. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | The possible values and their effects are: | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | 0 | |
| 70 | IPv6 is enabled on all interfaces. | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | This is the default value. | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | 1 | |
| 75 | IPv6 is disabled on all interfaces. | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces. | |
