Howto disable IPv6 Stack Ubuntu Linux

Sometimes network infrastructures are misconfigured to use ipv6 stack. Then you want to disable it at all. For ubuntu distribution it is easy as changing sysctl.conf and reboot your machine. Here is how to do it.

First check whether it is enabled or not:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
if output is 0 it is enabled and 1 it is disabled.

Adding the following rows is enough to disable ipv6 stack then restart your computer to take effect:
# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
# shutdown -r now

When your computer is up again, you can check it:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6

Creating Multiple VLANs over Bonding Interfaces with Proper Routing on a Centos Linux Host

The server has 4 Ethernet links to a layer 3 switch with names: enp3s0f0, enp3s0f1, enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1 There are two bond interfaces both configured as active-backup bond0, bond1 enp4s0f0 and enp4s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond0. Bond0 is for making ssh connections and management only so corresponding switch ports are not configured in trunk mode. enp3s0f0 and enp3s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond1. Bond1 is for data and corresponding switch ports are configured in trunk mode. Bond0 is the default gateway for the server and has IP address 10.1.10.11 Bond1 has three subinterfaces with VLAN 4, 36, 41. IP addresses are 10.1.3.11, 10.1.35.11, 10.1.40.11 respectively. Proper communication with other servers on the network we should use routing tables. There are three
