HOWTO Disable IPv6 in Redhat
If, for some reason, you want to disable IPv6 on a Red Hat environment, here’s how to do it.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network
Change the following:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes to
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
Edit /etc/modprobe.conf
Add the following if it does not exist:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
Stop the ipv6tables service
service ip6tables stop
Disable the ipv6tables service
chkconfig ip6tables off
After these changes, IPv6 will be disabled after the next reboot of your system.
