[Snort-users] Disable IPV6 in Snort 2.9.4.6

[Michael Süess]

Hi


I updated from snort 2.9.3.1 to snort 2.9.4.6 and tried to configure
snort 2.9.4.6 with --disable-ipv6:

./configure --enable-mpls --enable-perfprofiling --disable-ipv6

but unfortunately the --disable-ipv6 is not available anymore:
>...
>configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-ipv6

how can i configure/run snort 2.9.4.6 with disabling ipv6?



thx in advance

Support for IPv6 was hardened in Snort 2.9.4, and is always enabled now.
Reference from the release notes/email when Snort 2.9.4 was released:

* Consolidation of IPv6 -- now only a single build supports both
IPv4 & IPv6, and removal of the IPv4 "only" code paths.

Also, note that MPLS is enabled by default so the --enable-mpls is
not needed.
