So what is the correct way to not load the ipv6 module?
I have searched and haven't been able to find anything.
I did move the module out of /lib/modules/kernelversion and that
works, but
that seems like the wrong way to do it.
Please point me at a link or let me know the correct way.
Thanks!
At some point you won't have a choice, but until then, there are ways
to prevent IPv6 configuration on an interface. Edit the ifcfg-ethX
file and add:
IPV6INIT=no
If you are using NetworkManager, you may want to edit /etc/sysctl.conf
and add these lines:
net.ipv6.conf.ethX.accept_ra = 0
net.ipv6.conf.ethX.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv6.conf.ethX.autoconf = 0
For each of your ethernet devices.
We have removed the ability to disable loading the ipv6.ko kernel
module.
