## Property Details

### The `“addresses”` property

      “addresses”                GPtrArray_GValueArray_GArray_guchar_+guint+GArray_guchar___*

Array of IPv6 address structures. Each IPv6 address structure is composed of 3 members, the first being a byte array containing the IPv6 address (network byte order), the second a 32-bit integer containing the IPv6 address prefix, and the third a byte array containing the IPv6 address (network byte order) of the gateway associated with this address, if any. If no gateway is given, the third element should be given as all zeros. For the "auto" method, given IP addresses are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Addresses cannot be used with the "shared" or "link-local" methods as the interface is automatically assigned an address with these methods.

Flags: Read / Write

### The `“dhcp-hostname”` property

      “dhcp-hostname”            gchar *

The specified name will be sent to the DHCP server when acquiring a lease.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

Since: 0.9.8

### The `“dns”` property

      “dns”                      GPtrArray_GArray_guchar__ *

Array of DNS servers, where each member of the array is a byte array containing the IPv6 address of the DNS server (in network byte order). For the "auto" method, these DNS servers are appended to those (if any) returned by automatic configuration. DNS servers cannot be used with the "shared" or "link-local" methods as there is no usptream network. In all other methods, these DNS servers are used as the only DNS servers for this connection.

Flags: Read / Write

### The `“dns-search”` property

      “dns-search”               GSList_gchararray_ *

List of DNS search domains. For the "auto" method, these search domains are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Search domains cannot be used with the "shared" or "link-local" methods as there is no upstream network. In all other methods, these search domains are used as the only search domains for this connection.

Flags: Read / Write

### The `“ignore-auto-dns”` property

      “ignore-auto-dns”          gboolean

When the method is set to "auto" or "dhcp" and this property is set to `TRUE`, automatically configured nameservers and search domains are ignored and only nameservers and search domains specified in the “dns” and “dns-search” properties, if any, are used.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: FALSE

### The `“ignore-auto-routes”` property

      “ignore-auto-routes”       gboolean

When the method is set to "auto" or "dhcp" and this property is set to `TRUE`, automatically configured routes are ignored and only routes specified in the “routes” property, if any, are used.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: FALSE

### The `“ip6-privacy”` property

      “ip6-privacy”              gint

Configure IPv6 Privacy Extensions for SLAAC, described in RFC4941. If enabled, it makes the kernel generate a temporary IPv6 address in addition to the public one generated from MAC address via modified EUI-64. This enhances privacy, but could cause problems in some applications, on the other hand. The permitted values are: 0: disabled, 1: enabled (prefer public address), 2: enabled (prefer temporary addresses).

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: [-1,2]

Default value: -1

### The `“may-fail”` property

      “may-fail”                 gboolean

If `TRUE`, allow overall network configuration to proceed even if IPv6 configuration times out. Note that at least one IP configuration must succeed or overall network configuration will still fail. For example, in IPv4-only networks, setting this property to `TRUE` allows the overall network configuration to succeed if IPv6 configuration fails but IPv4 configuration completes successfully.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: TRUE

### The `“method”` property

      “method”                   gchar *

IPv6 configuration method. If "auto" is specified then the appropriate automatic method (PPP, router advertisement, etc) is used for the device and most other properties can be left unset. To force the use of DHCP only, specify "dhcp"; this method is only valid for Ethernet- based hardware. If "link-local" is specified, then an IPv6 link-local address will be assigned to the interface. If "manual" is specified, static IP addressing is used and at least one IP address must be given in the "addresses" property. If "ignore" is specified, IPv6 configuration is not done. This property must be set. Note: the "shared" method is not yet supported.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

### The `“never-default”` property

      “never-default”            gboolean

If `TRUE`, this connection will never be the default IPv6 connection, meaning it will never be assigned the default IPv6 route by NetworkManager.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: FALSE

### The `“route-metric”` property

      “route-metric”             gint64

The default metric for routes that don't explicitly specify a metric. The default value -1 means that the metric is choosen automatically based on the device type. The metric applies to dynamic routes, manual (static) routes that don't have an explicit metric setting, address prefix routes, and the default route. As the linux kernel replaces zero (0) by 1024 (user-default), setting this property to 0 means effectively setting it to 1024.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: [-1,4294967295]

Default value: -1

Since: 1.0

### The `“routes”` property

      “routes”                   GPtrArray_GValueArray_GArray_guchar_+guint+GArray_guchar_+guint__*

Array of IPv6 route structures. Each IPv6 route structure is composed of 4 members; the first being the destination IPv6 network or address (network byte order) as a byte array, the second the destination network or address IPv6 prefix, the third being the next-hop IPv6 address (network byte order) if any, and the fourth being the route metric. For the "auto" method, given IP routes are appended to those returned by automatic configuration. Routes cannot be used with the "shared" or "link-local" methods because there is no upstream network.

Flags: Read / Write
