Although IPv6 has many advantages over IPv4, few organizations have implemented IPv6. Rationale: If IPv6 is not to be used, it is recommended that it be disabled to reduce the attack surface of the system. Fix: Create or edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following lines: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1 Run the following command or reboot to apply the changes: # sysctl -p


Parameter:

[yes/no]


Technical Mechanism:

Create or edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following lines: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1 Run the following command or reboot to apply the changes: # sysctl -p
