== Network component ==
I've made a diff between the versions 1.2.6 and the new version 1.2.7, which supports IPv6. Explained in few lines, the component backups the current configuration, it reads from /system/network, and it updates the different files (Mainly /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcg-eth0) according to the read information, in case the network tests (With the new info) are successful:
 
The first modification is regarding the variable IPV6INIT, if it's defined (A value was given), then it's included (Same for the rest of the IPv6 parameters defined in the schema):

== Iptables component ==

This component works with the path ''/software/components/iptables''. After a fist look at the component, it seems that not many changes are needed.
 +
The first one would be in the variable that contains the definition of the different iptables options. I haven't done any change yet, so what you see at ''-s'' (source) and ''-d'' (destiny) is for IPv4 addresses, but I guess also that can be improved, because if I'm not wrong, that also allows the address ''999.999.999.999''. Anyway, I need to find the right regular expression, so that it also allows '''IPv6''' addresses:
