Router# show ip sockets | include ^P|v6 !Notice no ports listening from this command! (The following is the complete output from a test device.) This symptom exists across several Cisco platforms (6500, 3700, 2800 to name a few) and IOS versions. With absolutely no IPv6 configuration on a router, the listening ports are created when SNMP communities or NTP are configured. How do you disable IPv6 listening ports in a Cisco IOS router? I'm hoping that someone out there has the answer hidden in their back pocket. I've found this question has been asked many times on the web and in the Cisco forums.
