Is there anything different in RHEL6 for disabling ipv6? I have seen two methods on the net but want to make sure RHEL6 does not have some new way for doing this.
------------------------ Add a new file /etc/modprobe.d/ECS.conf containing alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and add a line saying NETWORKING_IPV6=off Then do chkconfig ip6tables off then reboot. ---------------------- HOWTO Disable IPv6 in Redhat If, for some reason, you want to disable IPv6 on a Red Hat environment, here’s how to do it. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network Change the following: NETWORKING_IPV6=yes to NETWORKING_IPV6=no Edit /etc/modprobe.conf Add the following if it does not exist: alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off Stop the ipv6tables service service ip6tables stop Disable the ipv6tables service chkconfig ip6tables off After these changes, IPv6 will be disabled after the next reboot of your system.
