IPv6 is enabled by default. Stateless address autoconfiguration is used to automatically assign IPv6 addresses to all interfaces. You can disable IPv6 support globally by setting:

You can disable IPv6 on a single interface using a normal sysctl (in this example, we use interface <varname > eth0</varname> ):

As with IPv4 networking interfaces are automatically configured via DHCPv6. You can configure an interface manually:

prefixLength = 64;
} ];
