Enis Inan commented on FACT-1475   Re: facter returns wrong ipv6 information when IPV6 stack is disabled What distro is the customer using? Also, how are they disabling IPV 6? I followed the directions outlined in https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-linux/ for disabling IPV 6, which consists of running sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 and to re-enable it, you can do sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=0 When I disabled IPV 6 this way, the v6 facts no longer showed up. It was just the v4 facts, which is the expected behavior. I tested this on CentOS 5/6/7.
