IPv6 support is configured by network interface in Network > LAN Interfaces:
The following configurations are available:
|
Value |
Effect |
|
Compatibilty mode |
Equivalent to former versions of IGEL Linux: NetworkManager ignores the device, but the kernel performs some basic configuration. In particular, it assigns an IPv6 link local address to the device. |
|
Disabled |
IPv6 is disabled completely. |
|
Automatic |
The device tries to perform an IPv6 stateless or stateful autoconfiguration based on router advertisements. Depending on the router advertisements, this involves DHCPv6 (see RFC 4861). |
|
DHCPv6 |
This option is supported by NetworkManager. It can be used when a DHCPv6 server is available but no router advertisements. Routing has to be configured by other means. In most cases Automatic will be preferable. |
In all cases IPv4 is configured in the usual way.
