9.2.1.2. Stateless Address Auto Configuration (IPv6 only)
Unlike IPv4, IPv6 is designed to be auto-configuring. SLAAC is an IPv6 mechanism by
which IPv6 hosts can configure their IPv6 addresses automatically when connected to an
IPv6 network using the Neighbour Discovery Protocol (NDP). Using NDP IPv6 hosts are
able to solicit advertisements from on-link routers and use the network prefix(es)
contained in the advertisements to generate IPv6 address(es).
SLAAC is disabled by default in an nShield Connect, but can be selectively enabled for
each Ethernet interface either using the nShield Connect front panel or by setting the
appropriate configuration item and pushing an nShield Connect configuration file.
