I'm trying to setup IPv6 on my OVH server using their guide.
In the article they recommend to
disable IPv6 autoconf and router advertising to prevent known issues
You can do so by adding the following lines to yoursysctl.conffile, which is located in/etc/sysctl.conf:
net.IPv6.conf.all.autoconf=0
net.IPv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0
Once this has been done, you can apply those rules by executing the following command:sh sysctl -p
I added those parameters to my the sysctl config like described. When trying to apply the config using sysctl -p I get the following error(s):
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/IPv6/conf/all/autoconf: No such file or directory
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/IPv6/conf/all/accept_ra: No such file or directory
I'm on Debian 10 with a recent kernel:
