Disabling ipv6 on Fedora core 4 new install





After installing FC4, I found out that when I do #/sbin/ifconfig, it shows that IPv6 has been enabled on any eth interface on my box... see below..


eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0D:60:97:6A:98:F4
inet addr:2xx.xx.xxx.xx2 Bcast:2xx.xx.xxx.xx3 Mask:255.255.255.0

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D0:81:42:86:GD:84

RX bytes:52924 (51.6 KiB) TX bytes:52924 (51.6 KiB)


So, in order to disable it, I have to add the ff. on /etc/modprobe.conf file. [note: I found the Idea by googling]

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off


and then I rebooted, and here's the new result of #/sbin/ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0D:60:97:6A:98:F4
inet addr:2xx.xx.xxx.xx2 Bcast:2xx.xx.xxx.xx3 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:155429479 (148.2 MiB) TX bytes:5770590 (5.5 MiB)

The inet6 address has gone :)

  • Just to (over)emphasize: It is _not_ enough to do a "service network restart" - you have to reboot.
