Available IPv6-Configurations
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.
