Turning IPv6 on and off in MacOSX

August 17th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

IPv6 is active by default when MacOSX is first installed, at least for Panther and Leopard, and I’m sure Snow Leopard. But you can be manually turn it on and off, either via the GUI Network control panel or via the command line utility  /usr/sbin/ip6.

To start IPv6 on all interfaces:

ip6 -a

To stop it:

ip6 -x
