How to Disable IPv6 on Synology NAS for Proxmox VE

While I was migrating my VM to Proxmox VE, I noticed that my VM was excessively trying to make IPv6 connections to my Synology NAS iSCSI LUN even though I’m not using the protocol. I saw the Proxmox VE System Log flooded with the following messages, until I truly disabled IPv6 on the Synology NAS:

Jul 03 11:27:49 proxmox01 iscsid[1622]: connection-1:0 cannot make a connection to fe80::211:32ff:fee8:74c5:3260 (-1,22)

In DSM, I opened Control Panel and Network, turning off IPv6 setup on my network interface:

However, the Synology NAS still advertises IPv6 capability, unless changes are made in SAN Manager to only bind the iSCSI service to an interface:

After completing these steps, I no longer saw Proxmox VE trying to make IPv6 connections to the LUN.
