How to configure the Linux kernel/net/ipv6

Howto configure the Linux kernel / net / ipv6


 * IPv6 configuration
 * IPv6 configuration


 * IPv6 as module will cause a CRASH if you try to unload it


 * Option: IPV6
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) The IPv6 protocol
 * default m
 * select CRYPTO if IPV6_PRIVACY
 * select CRYPTO_MD5 if IPV6_PRIVACY
 * This is complemental support for the IP version 6. You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.
 * For general information about IPv6, see . For Linux IPv6 development information, see . For specific information about IPv6 under Linux, read the HOWTO at .
 * To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipv6.


 * Option: IPV6_PRIVACY
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) IPv6: Privacy Extensions (RFC 3041) support
 * depends on IPV6
 * Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6 support. With this option, additional periodically-alter  pseudo-random global-scope unicast address(es) will assigned to your interface(s).
 * By default, kernel do not generate temporary addresses. To use temporary addresses, do
 * echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr
 * See  for details.


 * Option: INET6_AH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IPv6: AH transformation
 * depends on IPV6
 * select XFRM
 * select CRYPTO
 * select CRYPTO_HMAC
 * select CRYPTO_MD5
 * select CRYPTO_SHA1
 * Support for IPsec AH.
 * If unsure, say Y.


 * Option: INET6_ESP
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IPv6: ESP transformation
 * depends on IPV6
 * select XFRM
 * select CRYPTO
 * select CRYPTO_HMAC
 * select CRYPTO_MD5
 * select CRYPTO_SHA1
 * select CRYPTO_DES
 * Support for IPsec ESP.
 * If unsure, say Y.


 * Option: INET6_IPCOMP
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IPv6: IPComp transformation
 * depends on IPV6
 * select XFRM
 * select INET6_TUNNEL
 * select CRYPTO
 * select CRYPTO_DEFLATE
 * Support for IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPComp) (RFC3173), typically needed for IPsec.
 * If unsure, say Y.


 * Option: INET6_TUNNEL
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IPv6: tunnel transformation
 * depends on IPV6
 * select XFRM
 * Support for generic IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnel transformation, which is required by the IPv6-in-IPv6 tunneling module as well as tunnel mode IPComp. If unsure, say Y.


 * Option: IPV6_TUNNEL
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IPv6: IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnel
 * depends on IPV6
 * Support for IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnels described in RFC 2473.
 * If unsure, say N.
