Quoting Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I want to seriously work with IPv6 and not have stray IPv4 functions
messing with me.
So in /etc/sysconfig/network, I commented out NETWORKING=yes. I have
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes.
In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I altered ifcfg-eth0, setting
BOOTPROTO=none. That was enough for eth0 to only have IPv6
working on
it (have IPV6INIT=yes and IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes).
But lo had IPv4. So I commented out all of the IPV4 lines in
ifcfg-lo.
Still have IPv4 on lo. How do I disable that?
Try adding "alias net-pf-2 off" to your /etc/modprobe.conf
I did that and rebooted.
Then did a ifconfig and lo is still showing an inet address of
127.0.0.1
and I can ping 127.0.0.1
So that tends to imply that ipv4 is still running.
I would agree with you.
Have you tried setting ONBOOT=no in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo ??
No, but I do want iPv6 loopback, so I need something working for
ifcfg-lo
Will try some more tomorrow....
Maybe you can try removing IPADDR and NETMASK and adding:
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=::1
The complete documentation for the ifcfg files is in :
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
There is a log of other documentation in this file as well .. I would
just search for ifcfg once inside the file.
I am familiar with sysconfig.txt file, and used it to get to where I was....
Edited ifcfg-lo (already commented out all the IPv4 address lines, and
still was getting 127.0.0.1), added the onboot=no and the IPv6 commands,
restarted network and got the message:
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
I rebooted and saw this message when the loopback was brought up (even
with the onboot=no command!). I disabled iptables (it started before
loopback). Still betting ipv4.
Started looking through /var/log/messages and see that there is a line:
kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 2
Hey, wait a minute, I have in my /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-2 off
WHAT GIVES HERE????
I also see messages about starting IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver. Why?
I don't need it here for this test?
So it looks like there is a BUNCH of network stuff that runs even if you
don't ask for it (great defaults, I guess), and no documentation on
turning the stuff off.....
