0008 Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time.
0009
0010 Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod
0011 or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either
0012 ``/etc/modules.d/*.conf`` configuration files, or in a distro-specific
0013 configuration file.
0014
0015 The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter
0016 is not specified the default value is used.
0017
0018 The parameters are as follows:
0019
0020 disable
0021
0022 Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all
0023 its functionality. This might be used when another module
0024 has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no
0025 IPv6 addresses or operations are desired.
0026
0027 The possible values and their effects are:
0028
0029 0
0030 IPv6 is enabled.
0031
0032 This is the default value.
0033
0034 1
0035 IPv6 is disabled.
0036
0037 No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and
0038 it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket.
0039
0040 A reboot is required to enable IPv6.
0041
0042 autoconf
0043
0044 Specifies whether to enable IPv6 address autoconfiguration
0045 on all interfaces. This might be used when one does not wish
0046 for addresses to be automatically generated from prefixes
0047 received in Router Advertisements.
0048
0049 The possible values and their effects are:
0050
0051 0
0052 IPv6 address autoconfiguration is disabled on all interfaces.
0053
0054 Only the IPv6 loopback address (::1) and link-local addresses
0055 will be added to interfaces.
0056
0057 1
0058 IPv6 address autoconfiguration is enabled on all interfaces.
0059
0060 This is the default value.
0061
0062 disable_ipv6
0063
0064 Specifies whether to disable IPv6 on all interfaces.
0065 This might be used when no IPv6 addresses are desired.
0066
0067 The possible values and their effects are:
0068
0069 0
0070 IPv6 is enabled on all interfaces.
0071
0072 This is the default value.
0073
0074 1
0075 IPv6 is disabled on all interfaces.
0076
0077 No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces.
