Issue

  • What does IPV6INIT=no in ifcfg files or network scripts do?
  • /etc/sysconfig/network or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* contains IPV6INIT=no but it seems that it does not affect whether IPv6 is disabled or not.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • IPV6INIT=no in /etc/sysconfig/ network configuration files
