[Solved] Turning IPv6 back on

[crcarlin]

Continuing the discussion from [Solved] IPv6 not disabling on eth0 during Pi2 boot:

@DBMandrake

I’m not surprised that doesn’t work, because we use connman as our network manager, so it will just override those manual settings.

To disable ipv6 on Ethernet you would use connmanctl:
osmc@rpi2:~$ connmanctl
connmanctl> services
*Ac Wired ethernet_b827ebd04564_cable
connmanctl> config ethernet_b827ebd04564_cable --ipv6 off
connmanctl> quit

This change is persistent. Configuring the network interfaces from the command line is all done via connmanctl - type help while you’re in there and you’ll see there is a lot that can be done.

Tip - rather than typing out the full ethernet string just type e and hit tab…

To turn IPv6 back on, use --ipv6 auto

According to a changelog, IPv6 is now off by default on osmc
