Doc Text:
.Applicability changes of rules related to IPv6 configuration Compliance rules that are related to IPv6 configuration will now return "notapplicable" result when IPv6 is disabled on the target system. The applicability will be determined based on presence of `ipv6.disable` in the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX` value in the `/etc/default/grub` configuration file. If this option is not present there or set to 0, the rules will be considered applicable and will be evaluated. The following rules are affected by this change: - disabling_ipv6_autoconfig - network_ipv6_default_gateway - network_ipv6_privacy_extensions - network_ipv6_static_address - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_accept_ra - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_accept_ra_defrtr - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_accept_ra_pinfo - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_accept_ra_rtr_pref - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_accept_redirects - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_accept_source_route - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_autoconf - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_forwarding - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_max_addresses - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_all_router_solicitations - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_ra - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_ra_defrtr - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_ra_pinfo - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_ra_rtr_pref - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_redirects - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_accept_source_route - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_autoconf - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_forwarding - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_max_addresses - sysctl_net_ipv6_conf_default_router_solicitations
