* :confval:`ms_bind_ipv6` [default: false] controls whether a daemon binds
to an IPv6 address
-.. note:: The ability to bind to multiple ports has paved the way for
- dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 support. That said, dual-stack operation is
- not yet supported as of Quincy v17.2.0.

Connection modes
----------------
We prefer that the cluster network is **NOT** reachable from the public network
or the Internet for added security.
-IPv4/IPv6 Dual Stack Mode
--------------------------
-
-If you want to run in an IPv4/IPv6 dual stack mode and want to define your public and/or
-cluster networks, then you need to specify both your IPv4 and IPv6 networks for each:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
- [global]
- # ... elided configuration
- public_network = {IPv4 public-network/netmask}, {IPv6 public-network/netmask}
-
-This is so that Ceph can find a valid IP address for both address families.
-
-If you want just an IPv4 or an IPv6 stack environment, then make sure you set the `ms bind`
-options correctly.
-
-.. note::
- Binding to IPv4 is enabled by default, so if you just add the option to bind to IPv6
- you'll actually put yourself into dual stack mode. If you want just IPv6, then disable IPv4 and
- enable IPv6. See `Bind`_ below.
