Subject: Avoiding IPV6 link local address after boot
Hello,
After I boot my Linux machine, ifconfig -a shows that I have IPV6
address:
ifconfig -a
inet6 addr: fe80::230:47ff:fe61:e5e0/64 Scope:Link
This is what is called in IPV6 a "link local" address.
Is there a way (except configuring the system not to load the ipv6
module
at startup) to avoid this link local IPv6 address?
Regards,
Ian
