A municipal library consortium is dual-stacking a staff VLAN and must choose how hosts obtain IPv6 addressing and options. Which statement correctly contrasts SLAAC and stateful DHCPv6?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
SLAAC is DIY addressing from the RA’s prefix—hosts build their own IPv6 addresses. Stateful DHCPv6 is the formal lease desk when you want the server handing out addresses. Many networks mix RAs with DHCPv6 options; they are not mortal enemies.
Full Explanation
SLAAC uses Router Advertisements to convey prefixes so hosts form addresses; DNS and other options may come via RA options or stateless DHCPv6. Stateful DHCPv6 assigns addresses when the M-flag (and related config) directs hosts to a DHCPv6 server. RAs remain relevant in most dual-stack designs; SLAAC is not IPv4-based and does use /64 prefixes.
