Turning off IPv6

Hi All: Our internal LAN is 100% IPv4 and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Would I see a performance bump if I disable IPv6 on all my servers (a mixture of OES2 and OES11) and my Win7 clients? Or is this not advised?
Thanks, Chris.

Do you know if the Novell DNS daemon (novell-named) supports IPv6 ? I played around with the DNSDHCP console but don't see where you enable/setup IPv6. Chris.

There isn't currently a TID (myself and Novell have previously had a
"conversation" about this) but whilst IPv6 is enabled by default
(because of SLES) it's not actually supported with OES so, as others
have already said, you may as well disable it.

  • Turning OFF IPv6 on 10.6.8 returns browsing speed to normal & more...

    Recently installed 10.6.8 on my MBP and had same problem many reported with unbearably slow browsing on all browsers (Safari, Firefox & Chrome all took 10sec+ to load Google's home page with beach balls spinning along the way).  Also many apps where slow to even open.  Really noticed a problem with iTunes - which for me runs a bit sluggish anyway as my music library is over 2TB with 275,000 songs.  With iTunes it would do the beach ball jiggy for 30sec sometimes when just scrolling the library.
    Anyway, to make a long story short did all the usual of Repairing Permissions, etc - but same same.  Then remembered in the 10.6.8 release notes Apple made changes to the IPv6 protocol so turned it OFF for both my Ethernet and Wireless  (Network->Advanced).  And WAL-LA.  It is like a whole new machine with browsing back to lightning speed and even iTunes is working like never seen it before.
    Hope this may help others facing similar grief... But also curious on why this would be the case...
    Btw  - forgot to mention since last couple of updates could not AirPlay anymore through my AirportExpress.  When I tried to connect to the remote speakers it would sit there for about 20sec showing it was trying to connect then stopped.  Connection from to AirportExpress was no issues.  As with the above, after turning off IPv6 - all working fine as well.

    this should help

  • How to turn off IPV6 on Lion Server

    I did a clean install of Lion Server on my Mac Mini. I need to enable the firewall on that machine.
    My Mini is only connected via WiFi to the network.
    Due to firewall / Networksoftware issues i would like to disable IPV6 on the Lion Server completely.
    The menu however only shows entries for "Automatic, Manual or Link-Local". On a Lion install (no Server) there is also the "Off".
    Is there any reason i cannot switch off IPV6? If i cannot switch it off how do i configure my firewall so my software no longer
    tries to connect using IPv6. I assume IPV6 is chosen in the first place due to a mDNS running with IPV6 enabled as i only configure ipv4 stuff and have eliminated all ipv6 completely from all other os's.
    thanks & regards
    udo

    I found a fix for this issue and applied it to several different MacBooks, iMac's, PowerMac's in the last couple of weeks. It works quite well and will now show or unlock the option of "Off" in the IPv6 section of GUI once these process is completed.
    Click some place on the desktop
    Click on the Go menu at the top of your screen
    Click on Utilities
    Inside the Utilities menu you will find the utility called Terminal
    Open up Terminal
    Depending if your account has admin privileges or the following will be different.
    In the terminal window type in the following:
    networksetup –listallnetworkservices  (precede this command with su or sudo if you are not logged in as an admin of the MAC)
    You will see a list of network services such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Firewire etc etc.
    The next couple of commands will enable a new option in the GUI that will say Off under your Wi-Fi and Ethernet etc.
    networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
    networksetup –setv6off Wi-Fi
    networksetup –setv6off FireWire
    networksetup –setv6off 'Bluetooth PAN'  (if you have this)
    networksetup –setv6off 'VPN (PPTP)'   (if you have this)
    Close the terminal window and reboot your MAC
    You will be all set and all IPV6 stuff will be disabled for your networking and you will also have the new option in the GUI to change it if you so choose to in the future.

  • How can I turn off IPv6 temporary addresses in a enterprise environment

    So in a default configuration Vista and Windows 7 clients will use IPv6 temporary address (per RFC 3041), but I would like to be able to disable this with a GPO.
    I know I can do this by using a startup script tied to a GPO using the netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=persistent but I really do not want to run a logon script especially when as you can see in the command it is a persistent
    setting.
    Any ideas on using a registry based GPO for this?

    Hi,
    OK, I understand what you want. But after I use the Process Monitor to capture the behavior, I found that a lot of registry keys would be changed. So you can not set it via registry unless the IPv6 is disabled.
    Thanks for understanding.
    Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. ”
    Thank you again for the answer.
    As a follow up question... How does one suggest/request a change in default behavior in a MS product?
    While the RFC 3041 addresses might be nice to have for the average consumer they are not ideal in a enterprise environment. I have found that the temporary addresses will register in DNS, but this doesn't completely solve the issue of tracking and accountability,
    you would still need a application to query, correlate and store that information.
    So it would be nice if the business versions of Windows Vista/7/2K8 and the next client OS would not have this behavior by default.

  • Cannot turn off Homesharing to AppleTV: IPv6 connections remain

    I CANNOT prevent my AppleTV from sharing my iTunes Library even though ALL sharing on my computer (including "home sharing" in iTunes) is turned OFF
    There are several discussions about Homesharing not working if the AppleTV has gone asleep for over 24 hours.
    In "most cases", restarting the AppleTV and/or restarting iTunes will solve this problem.  On occasion, I have had to reboot the computer that was suppose to be sharing.
    I have two computers.  One with Homesharing (system 1) on and the other with Homesharing (and all sharing) turned off. (system 2)
    When I restart the AppleTV so that it will see the iTunes library for system 1, it will -also- pick up the iTunes library for system 2.
    The Bonjour Sleep Proxy is somehow involved in this.  It keeps the ARP table populated with IP addresses of systems that have gone to sleep.  (AppleTV)   An Airport Extreme will run the Bonjour Sleep Proxy.  I have found that the AEX will cause as many as 60 DAAP sockets (both v4 and v6) to be open on my computers -- if iTunes is running.  When the AppleTV wakes up, restarting it seems to clear these extraneous DAAP sockets and ONLY ipv6 sockets remain open on system 2.
    On system 1 (Homesharing enabled) has 3 ipv4 sockets open for DAAP.
    This appears to mean that when Homesharing is turned off it is ignored by IPv6.
    On further investigation, I note that link local addresses are being used between the AppleTV and system 2.
    tcp6       0      0  johns-macbook-pr.daap  great-room-apple.54552 ESTABLISHED
    tcp6       0      0  johns-macbook-pr.daap  great-room-apple.54551 ESTABLISHED
    tcp6       0      0  johns-macbook-pr.daap  great-room-apple.54550 ESTABLISHED
    The only problem is that the MAC address these connections are made over are to the Airport Extreme
    great-room-apple-tv.local               90:72:40:c:8c:9f     en1 22h54m16s S   
    fe80::cbc:15ab:bdd7:98b7%en1    90:72:40:c:8c:9f     en1 22h54m0s  S   
    ? (10.0.1.1) at 90:72:40:c:8c:9f on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
    Of course, this is a side-effect of using Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
    When the appleTV is asked to list the contents of the iTunes Library on System 2, the MAC address is corrected to the Apple TV.
    But the problem remains that HomeSharing for system 2 is OFF.  How did this information get into the Apple TV and why does System 2 even answer?
    Attempting to turn off IPv6 on system 2 has resulted in "System Preferences" freezing and being "force quit"
    (I set up IPV6 for manual configuration but did not enter any address.  A warning message came up saying an address was required but System Preferences no longer responded.)
    Properly entering "::" for all zeros worked.  But that still does not disable "link-local" addresses.  So restarting the AppleTV -STILL- shows system 2 iTunes Library being available over IPv6 sockets.

  • Best Practice - IPv6 Turn Off? Windows 2008 (and R2) Servers

    Hi,
    I work for a large organization.  We have close to 10,000 servers globally.  A question has come up if we should disable IPv6 on our Windows 2008 servers.  Our network is not yet capable of using IPv6.
    It seems like you have to go out of your way to disable IPv6; therefore, I would assume that it is best to leave IPv6 turned on.
    Does anyone have any thoughts about this.  It would be most helpful to have links to pros/cons - best practice.
    Thank you.

    No, do not disable IPv6. There is no reason to do so unless you have a very specific application issue which is highly unlikely (although there are a few documented ones out there).
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/ipv6/archive/2007/11/08/disabling-ipv6-doesn-t-help.aspx

    Whoever marked this as an "answer" obviously doesn't remember that bad-old-days of "Everything's on by default! It just works!!" and the billions of dollars in lost productivity that ensued from the hundreds (thousands?) of exploits that followed this
    painfully short-sighted decision. You'd think Microsoft would have learned their lesson from the "IIS is on by default!" debacle, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Best practices for system administration say "turn off the services and protocols you don't use." As such,
    IPv6 should ALWAYS be disabled on servers and business workstations if you're not currently using it, just like any other protocol or service you haven't implemented or aren't using. Not using FTP? Don't install or enable
    an FTP server. Not using IPv6? Why would you have IPv6 enabled? Just because IPv6 is the newest, shiniest thing on the block doesn't mean you have to use, and it definitely shouldn't require you to start hacking about in the registry to turn it off.
    The only exception to this rule would be laptops or mobile devices where the user might (conceivably) take them into an IPv6 environment. Even then, though, you have to balance the "convenience" of not having to switch-on IPv6 against the risk that
    your unconfigured IPv6 stack might be exploitable by nefarious patries. Even so, the fact that almost nobody has switched their internal networks to IPv6 means that turning it off on laptops is still probably a "good idea." 
    For example, my laptop wireless interface might make sense to leave IPv6 enabled--I don't have any idea when I'll walk into an environment that uses IPv6 and want to use my wireless. But in the office when I'm hard-connected? We don't use IPv6 so it needs
    to be "off." Even if it's just a bit of code in the Windows firewall that can be used to say "just reject IPv6 traffic on x interface" is still a big improvement. An absolute home-run would be the addition of logic that allows Windows to dynamically disable
    IPv6 when there aren't any NICs or WNICs that are allowed to use it.
    Finally, none of this should be construed to mean I'm advising against implementing IPv6, because I'm not. However, like any major technology project you should plan carefully, making sure you understand ALL of the consequences (not just the marketing hype,)
    and making sure you'll be able to administer the changed environment as well as your administer the current one. You definitely should not let a vendor (of all things) force the decision to use it upon you because it's "on by default."

  • My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

    Time Capsule Airport
    Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
    Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

    This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
    In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
    Simply post the screenshots here.
    So here is mine.
    Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
    eg.
    Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
    This is wifi in your computer.
    The following are important..
    DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TC name. TCgen5
    Wireless name TCwifi
    Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Mount the TC manually in finder.
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.

    I recently tried to add a couple of "ip dhcp relay address" statements to an SVI and received the following error message:
    ERROR: Hardware programming failed. Reason: Tcam will be over used, please enable bank chaining and/or turn off atomic update
    Studying this page I was able to determine, that I seemed to be hitting a 50% TCAM utilization limit on the F1 modules, which prevented atomic updates:
    # show hardware access-list resource entries module 3
             ACL Hardware Resource Utilization (Module 3)
                              Instance  1, Ingress

                                              Utilization
    TCAM                      530     494     51.75 
    I was able to workaround it be disabling atomic updates:
    hardware access-list update default-result permit
    no hardware access-list update atomic
    I understand, that with this config I am theoretically allowing ACL traffic during updates which shouldn't be allowed (alternately I could drop it), but that's not really my primary concern here.
    First of all I need to understand why adding DHCP relays are apparently affecting my TCAM entry resources?
    Second, I need to understand if there are other implications of disabling atomic updates, such as during ISSU?
    Third,  What are my options - if any - for planning the usage of the apparently relatively scarce resources on the F1 modules?

    Could be CSCua13121:
    Symptom:
    Host of certain Vlan will not get IP address from DHCP.
    Conditions:
    M1/F1 Chassis with Fabric Path Vlan with atomic update enable.
    On such system if configured SVI with DHCP is bounced that is if we shut down and bring it up may cause DHCP relay issue.
    Workaround:
    Disable Atomic update and bounce the Vlan. Disabling Atomic update may cause packet drops .
    Except that ought to be fixed in 6.2(2).

  • How can I turn off ULA on E4200 1.0.03?

    Firmware 1.0.00 on my E4200 Hardware v1.0 provided a functioning 6to4 tunnel through Comcast's 6to4 facility. Windows and Linux clients on my local network discovered IPv6 addresses and were able to use them successfully.
    Unfortunately, after the upgrade to 1.0.03 this functionality was gone. I missed reading the ChangeLog, which said that the automatic tunneling feature was removed in 1.0.01. 
    The now provided IPv6 functionality works much less well. First, automatic configuration (discovery of the 6to4 via IPv4 anycast) no longer works with Comcast's gateway. If I configure the tunnel manually, by specifying a 2002/16 prefix, I regain IPv6 connectivity, but only for Linux clients on my local network.
    Windows 7 clients suffer from the problem that because the E4200 hands out ULA addresses, they end up preferring those ULA addresses when making global IPv6 connections in the IP 'source' field, which of course does not work. It's like putting your company mailbox code as the return address on a letter you send via US Mail. Other home routers, such as the AVM Fritz! (see http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Customer_problems_that_could_occur#AVM ) suffer from the same problem. However, they provide an option to turn off ULA at the router.
    Is it possible to turn off ULA for the E4200?
    If not, what is the recommended work-around so that Windows 7 clients regain IPv6 functionality?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your valuable suggestion!
    Its noted and i believe, its going to help most of us on the Cisco Home Community Forums....Its a big suggestion for all the users using E4200....

  • Mac Mini Fan Still Running After Turning Off Computer

    I turned off my computer (Mac Mini) and, after the screen had gone black and the light turned off, I still heard the fan running. I turned off the monitor and my speakers, but it was neither of them, it was the mini. It also wouldn't let me turn it on again. I tried, but the light wouldn't come on. So I unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in and it turned on. Any reason why this happened and should I be worried?

  • I recently sold my Mac Air to a friend, he wants to use iTunes Match, but it says he can't for another 40  days because it was attached to my account.  How can I get that turned off so that he can use his account and turn on iTunes match.

    I reecntly spold my mac book air,to a friend, when he tries to use itunes match it says the computer is registersed to another user and cannot be done for another 40+ days.  How do i get that to turn off.  I have unregistered it under my account.
    thanks s

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

  • IOS 8 on the iPad:  How can I turn off the night view in the iBook bookshelf?

    I've already turned off the automatic switch to white on black in low light while reading my book.  But other areas, such as the shelves still switch to night view and I can't find where to turn that off.

    Settings, general, passcode lock, enter passcode, turn passcode off.

  • How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

    I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode.  I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar.  I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine. 

    This did not help.  I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me.   I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window.  Thanks for trying. 

  • My time capsule all of a sudden disconnected from the wireless system and can no longer be fund by my MacBook Pro. The little lamp on the the capsules has turned off, but it still makes a noice inside,

    My Time capsule did a backup yesterday in the morning without any problem. All of a sudden, it disconnected from the wireles system last night and the little indicator lamp turned off. It still makes a noice, as if a disc was turning inside. The Time Capsule was bought last year in June. Any suggestiom what to do? What happens if I press the little buttom (reset?), will I loose af my backup?

    Do a reset.. power off the TC..
    Hold in reset and power on.. keep holding in reset until it flashes rapidly.. if it turns on at all.
    If you bought it in June.. take it back today.. it is broken.. at a guess.
    Some Gen4 are failing this way.. get Apple to replace it.. even if it is a few days out of warranty it won't be much.
