• Network Observability

Issue/Introduction

The dadaemon starts tcp6 connections although IPv6 is disabled for the network interface. How can we force to bind to tcp4? PFB screenshot for reference:

Environment

All supported releases on NetOps Performance Management

Cause

IPv6 is disabled at the interface level but not the kernel level.

Resolution

If you disable IPv6 ant the interface level but not the kernel level, applications will still create ipv6 sockets, but as IPv6 is disabled IPv6 will be unavailable but IPv4 will still work.
