When I configure the lo interface to save the configuration, I am prompted that I cannot set the IPv6 address of lo. How can I disable IPv6?
Thank you for your reply. I have tested the command “ set system IPv6 disable forwarding”. It does not work for me. I just found a way to use the following command:
echo "
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0 " >> /etc/sysctl.conf && sysctl -p
Hi.
That option is no longer available in 1.4, and also marked as deprecated in 1.3.

Please provide us with your configuration.
Also write the command you wanted to use and an error occurred.
I’m sorry, I’ve only seen the news now. Here is my configuration:

@gameboy-aa: n.fort linked the sensible reasons that it has been deprecated. I must admit I still have it disabled in a vyos 1.4 router on my home network in order to simplify my config, knowing that I’ll have to deal with any issues that might arise because of it.
This is overkill, some of these options make the others irrelevant but for completeness’ sake I just disabled every ipv6 option. It works in my very specific case but I can’t say that it wouldn’t have problems in others.
interfaces {
# (every interface)
<type> <name> {
ipv6 {
address {
no-default-link-local
}
}
}
}
system {
ipv6 {
disable-forwarding
}
sysctl {
parameter net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 {
value 1
}
}
}
