3.1.b (viii) Stateful, stateless DHCPv6
3.1.b (viii) Stateful, stateless DHCPv6 Stateless: SLAAC and DHCPv6 can go hand in hand because SLAAC does not disseminate other information like DNS or other DHCP options. These are things that we no longer necessarily have to track so they can be stateless. However they still require a DHCPv6 server for. For example here's a …

3.1.b (vi) DHCP Protocol Operations
3.1.b (vi) DHCP Protocol Operations DHCPv6 has some different protocol messages and sequences. here is the process of how a IPv6 host gets a DHCPv6 address from a Cisco router: 1. Client sends DHCPv6 Solicit 2. Router sends a DHCPv6 advertise 3. Client sends a DHCPv6 request 4. Router sends a DHCPv6 reply These messages …
3.1.b (v) Global Prefix Configuration Feature
3.1.b (v) Global Prefix Configuration Feature The goal of this function is to simplify network renumbering and lets you automatically configure prefixes on interfaces. EN conf t ipv6 general-prefix myglobalprefix 2000:1:1::/48 int lo1 ipv6 address myglobalprefix 0:0:0:1::1/64 int lo2 ipv6 address myglobalprefix 0:0:0:2::1/64 Now you can change the global prefix for both via 1 command: …

3.1.b (iv) Autoconfig/SLAAC, temporary addresses (RFC4941)
3.1.b (iv) Autoconfig/SLAAC, temporary adresses (RFC4941) IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) Utilizes 2 ICMPv6 messages to communicate the prefix to clients: Router solicitation Router advertisement note: Review the 3.1.b (iii) for a more indepth look at these messages These basically allow our host to communicate to the router and then learn the global ipv6 …
