Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 7 weliao 2016-08-26 03:07:28 UTC

Virt-QE just confirm the flags to disable IPv6.

Version:
ipxe-20160127-4.git6366fa7a.el7.src.rpm

[root@dhcp-8-118 ipxe-6366fa7a]# cat ./src/config/local/general.h
#undef ROM_BANNER_TIMEOUT
#define ROM_BANNER_TIMEOUT     0

/* Enable IPv6. Note that we leave this defined only in non-QEMU builds.
 * Find the corresponding undef in src/config/local/qemu/general.h */
#define NET_PROTO_IPV6


[root@dhcp-8-118 ipxe-6366fa7a]# cat ./src/config/local/qemu/general.h
/* IPv6 is enabled only in non-QEMU builds. Find the corresponding define
 * in src/config/local/general.h */
#undef NET_PROTO_IPV6

Hi Wei,

We will handle it, assigning Amit to test and verify this RFE.

Comment 12 Raviv Bar-Tal 2016-09-22 10:47:58 UTC

HI chao,
We had problems building test environment as ipv6 set-up is no trivial.
We hope to get result soon.
