+  <title>IPv6 Configuration</title>
+  <para>
+    IPv6 is enabled by default. Stateless address autoconfiguration is
+    used to automatically assign IPv6 addresses to all interfaces, and
+    Privacy Extensions (RFC 4946) are enabled by default. You can adjust
+    the default for this by setting
+    <xref linkend="opt-networking.tempAddresses" />. This option may be
+    overridden on a per-interface basis by
+    <xref linkend="opt-networking.interfaces._name_.tempAddress" />. You
+    can disable IPv6 support globally by setting:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+networking.enableIPv6 = false;
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    You can disable IPv6 on a single interface using a normal sysctl (in
+    this example, we use interface <literal>eth0</literal>):
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+boot.kernel.sysctl.&quot;net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6&quot; = true;
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    As with IPv4 networking interfaces are automatically configured via
+    DHCPv6. You can configure an interface manually:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+networking.interfaces.eth0.ipv6.addresses = [ {
+  address = &quot;fe00:aa:bb:cc::2&quot;;
+  prefixLength = 64;
+} ];
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    For configuring a gateway, optionally with explicitly specified
+    interface:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+networking.defaultGateway6 = {
+  address = &quot;fe00::1&quot;;
+  interface = &quot;enp0s3&quot;;
+};
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    See <xref linkend="sec-ipv4" /> for similar examples and additional
+    information.
