What are the essential differences?
IP configuration
• DHCP server
• Manual
• Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC): Stateless
autoconfiguration using NDP (Neighbor Discovery Proto-
col)
– Creates a link local address for every interface that
does not require a router on the link.
– Checks the uniqueness of the address on the link that
requires no router on the link.
– Specifies whether the global addresses are obtained
via a status-free mechanism, a mechanism with status
or via both mechanisms. (Requires a router on the
link.)
• Manual
• DHCPv6 (status dependent)
