+	Changing this value is same as changing ``conf/default/disable_ipv6``
+	setting and also all per-interface ``disable_ipv6`` settings to the same
+	value.
+
+	Reading this value does not have any particular meaning. It does not say
+	whether IPv6 support is enabled or disabled. Returned value can be 1
+	also in the case when some interface has ``disable_ipv6`` set to 0 and

 conf/all/forwarding - BOOLEAN
 	Enable global IPv6 forwarding between all interfaces.
