Disable ipv6

Not applicable

Do ApigeeEdge and BaaS support IPv6 ?

Now in our platform, IPv6 is enabled. But we don't define the specific ipv6 address to the interface. hostname -i returns IPv4 address. Now ApigeeEdge works fine but because of the platform requirement we should disable IPv6. Can we disable IPv6 ?

Does this operation affect the API service ?

As 17.01, Edge does not support IPv6. IPv6 can affect Management Server, Message Processor and other components.

Disable DNS lookup on IPv6 when using NSCD:

If you have installed and enabled NSCD (Name Service Cache Daemon) you might notice that Message Processors make two DNS lookups: one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.

To disable the DNS lookup on IPv6:

On every Message Processor node, edit "

/etc/nscd.conf

Set the following property: enable-cache hosts no

Hosts file:

In addition to the items above you may want to check your /etc/hosts file and other relevant configuration options where IPv6 could be set.

Refer to official documentation and release notes for details.
