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. | ||
