| 11 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 12 | .Nm | |
| 13 | can be used to start up or shut down IPv6 on active interfaces. | |
| 14 | When IPv6 is enabled on an interface the protocol is attached to the | |
| 15 | interface, at which point the default settings in the kernel allow it | |
| 16 | to acquire a link-local address and accept router advertisements. | |
| 17 | Disabling detaches the protocol from the interface. | |
| 18 | .Pp | |

| 21 | .It Fl a | |
| 22 | Start IPv6 on all interfaces. | |
| 23 | .It Fl x | |
| 24 | Stop IPv6 on all interfaces. | |
| 25 | .It Fl u [interface] | |
| 26 | Start IPv6 on interface. | |
| 27 | .It Fl d [interface] | |
| 28 | Stop IPv6 on interface. | |

| 31 | .Sh REQUIREMENTS | |
| 32 | You need support for IPv6 in your kernel. This is provided beginning | |
| 33 | with Darwin Kernel Version 6.0. | |
| 34 | .Pp | |
| 35 | .Sh CONFIGURATION | |
| 36 | The default IPv6 configuration for an interface assigns a link-local | |
| 37 | address to it and sets the interface to receive router advertisements. | |
| 38 | No further configuration is necessary for basic functionality. | |
| 39 | However, various settings can be modified by using sysctl. | |
