2Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time.
3
4Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod
5or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either the
6/etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf configuration file, or in a
7distro-specific configuration file.
8
9The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter
10is not specified the default value is used.
11
12The parameters are as follows:
13
14disable
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.
