How do I configure ipv4 and ipv6 on the same interface? Is it possible to use Yast?

By default IPv4 and IPv6 are configured on the same interface - you have  
to specifically disable IPv6 if you don’t want IPv6 support.

See  
[https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book\_sle\_admin/data/sec\_basicnet\_ipv6.html#sec\_basicnet\_ipv6](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book_sle_admin/data/sec_basicnet_ipv6.html#sec_basicnet_ipv6)  
for more information.
