Dynamic address configuration methods(i.e. SLACC, stateless, and stateful) in IPv6 do not provide the prefix, prefix length, and default gateway to the clients.
A Client sends a ND(Neighbor Discovery) Router Solicitation(RS) when it needs prefix, prefix length, default gateway, and other information. This typically occurs when the host has just been powered on and has been configured to obtain its IP address automatically.
The host obtains its prefix, prefix length, and default gateway from the Router Advertisement(RA) message from a router.
You have to configure the ND(Neighbor Discovery) Protocol in your router and the following is an example configuration of the Extreme XOS version 15.3.2.11.
ROUTER# configure "vlan10" router-discovery ipv6 add prefix 2000:1::1/64 ROUTER# configure "vlan20" router-discovery ipv6 add prefix 2000:2::1/64 ROUTER# configure "vlan30" router-discovery ipv6 add prefix 2000:3::1/64 ROUTER# enable router-discovery ipv6 "vlan10" ROUTER# enable router-discovery ipv6 "vlan20" ROUTER# enable router-discovery ipv6 "vlan30"
