System configuration commands

.. cfgcmd:: set system ipv6 disable

   Use this command to disable assignment of IPv6 addresses on all
   interfaces.

   .. note:: This command is deprecated in VyOS 1.3 (equuleus) and removed in
      VyOS 1.4 (sagitta). IPv6 address family can no longer be disabled.

.. cfgcmd:: set system ipv6 disable-forwarding

   Use this command to disable IPv6 forwarding on all interfaces.

.. cfgcmd:: set system ipv6 neighbor table-size <number>

   Use this command to define the maximum number of entries to keep in
   the Neighbor cache (1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768).

.. cfgcmd:: set system ipv6 strict-dad

   Use this command to disable IPv6 operation on interface when
   Duplicate Address Detection fails on Link-Local address.

.. cfgcmd:: set system ipv6 multipath layer4-hashing

   Use this command to user Layer 4 information for ECMP hashing.
