Some examples might help understand all these options 1. no IPv6 sysconfig file: IPV6=no XML ...no <addresses> element for IPv6 2. IPv6 link local only, no autoconf, no static address, no dhcp IPV6=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no DHCPV6=no XML to define it <addresses family='ipv6'/> XML when running <addresses family='ipv6'> <ip address="fe80::215:58ff:fe6e:5" prefix="64"/> (the link local addr) </addresses> 3. IPv6 link local, no autoconf, one static address, no dhcp IPV6=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no DHCPV6=no IPV6ADDR="3ffe:ffff:0:5::1" XML to define it <addresses family='ipv6'> <ip address="3ffe:ffff:0:5::1" prefix="128"/> (the static addr) </addresses> XML when running <addresses family='ipv6'> <ip address="fe80::215:58ff:fe6e:5" prefix="64"/> (the link local addr) <ip address="3ffe:ffff:0:5::1" prefix="128"/> (the static addr) </addresses> 4. IPv6 link local, autoconf, no static address, no dhcp IPV6=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes DHCPV6=no XML to define it <addresses family='ipv6'> <autoconf/> </addresses> XML when running <addresses family='ipv6'> <autoconf/> <ip address="fe80::215:58ff:fe6e:5" prefix="64"/> (the link local addr) <ip address="3ffe:1234:0:5::6" prefix="128"/> (the automatic addr) </addresses> 5. IPv6 link local, autoconf, no static address, dhcp for services IPV6=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes DHCPV6=yes XML to define it <addresses family='ipv6'> <autoconf/> <dhcp/> </addresses> XML when running <addresses family='ipv6'> <autoconf/> <dhcp/> <ip address="fe80::215:58ff:fe6e:5" prefix="64"/> (the link local addr) <ip address="3ffe:1234:0:5::6" prefix="128"/> (the automatic addr) </addresses> 6. IPv6 link local, no autoconf, no static address, dhcp for everything IPV6=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no DHCPV6=yes XML to define it <addresses family='ipv6'> <dhcp/> </addresses> XML when running <addresses family='ipv6'> <autoconf/> <dhcp/> <ip address="fe80::215:58ff:fe6e:5" prefix="64"/> (the link local addr) <ip address="3ffe:7891:0:5::6" prefix="128"/> (the dhcp addr) </addresses> It may be aso possible to list extra static addresses, even while autoconf and/or dhcp are enabled. Can't remember off hand. Basically every single combo you can think of is probably needed. For brevity, i left out routes here. You can more or less asume zero or more routes are needed in all these scenarios.
