The Red Hat and ip6tables documentation is adamant that ipchains, iptables and ip6tables are mutually exclusive, so the first line stop the running iptables and "chkconfig iptables off" stop it from being loaded at startup in the future. If you have and IPv4+IPv6 network, you must set the kernel sysctl in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only If this flag is set to false (zero), then the socket can be used to send and receive packets to and from an IPv6 address or an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
