Viewed 69 times
Summary
An administrator may wish to disable IPv6 on all VRAs.
Steps
To disable IPv6 on all VRAs utilizing the Multi-Session Tool, follow the below steps:
Download the Multi-Session Tool from this link.
Connect the Multi-Session Tool and get the list of VRA IPs.
Run the following command to the Multi-Session Tool's command box to check current status:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
Note: This should output 0 as it is not disabled by default on the VRAs.
Run the following command to the Multi-Session Tool's command box to disable IPv6:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
If you hover your cursor over the green V next to the VRAs IPs, you should see the following output per VRA:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
To verify, run the following cat command to list the value of the "disable_ipv6" attribute:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
You can run the other commands regarding IPv6, just prefix them with "sysctl -w" which have been arranged below:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
Once all changes are complete across all VRAs, run the following command to persist the changes by restarting the networking daemon:
/etc/init.d/networking reload
