## Syntax

[no] ip ipv6 off|on
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Reset the command to its default value.</td></tr><tr><td><code>off</code></td><td>Disable IPv6 on the Island.</td></tr><tr><td><code>on</code></td><td>Enable IPv6 the Island.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

IPv6 is enabled by default.

## Usage Guidelines

IPv6 is fully supported by Island, and is enabled on all interfaces by default. Island will attempt to obtain an IPv6 address and a delegated prefix on each WAN port, and will assigne IPv6 addresses to each LAN port.

While IPv6 can be disabled on individual interfaces using [interface-specific ip commands](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/ip-interface-context.md), this command can be used to disable IPv6 on all interfaces.

## Examples

```
ip ipv6 off
```
