Re: IPv6 Security Question

Devices can self assign routable IP's with just IPv6 RA's (Route Announcements). All DHCPv6 does is extend the RA's to provide additional information eg DNS, Domain etc. You can do IP allocation over DHCPv6, but that's only if you want specific IP's that are not related to the mac address
