I have just moved a host from a network that supports static IPv4 and
IPv6. The IPv4 addr is set in ifcfg-eth0, and the IPv6 via RA (I set
the MAC so I get an IPv6 addr that I like).
I just moved the host to a network that supports static IPv4, but only
dymanic IPv6, so at this time (until I get static IPv6), I need to
disable the global IPv6 addressing. So in the ifcfg-eth0 file I set:
IPV6INIT="no"
But I am still getting a global IPv6 (and of course local scope).
What else do I need to do to disable the listening for RA announcements
and setting an IPv6 global address? I do not want to reboot the box. I
can restart the network as needed.
I seem to recall, once upon atime an option in /etc/sysconfig/network
thanks
