<div><p>Stateless address autoconfiguration automates some of the network

administrator's tasks. </p>
|

<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Stateless address autoconfiguration is the process
|
||
that IPv6 nodes (hosts or routers) use to automatically configure IPv6 addresses
|
||
for interfaces. The node builds various IPv6 addresses by combining an address
|
||
prefix with either an identifier derived from the MAC address of the node
|
||
or a user-specified interface identifier. The prefixes include the link-local
|
||
prefix (<samp class="codeph">fe80::/10</samp>) and prefixes of length 64 advertised by
|
||
local IPv6 routers (if any exist). <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
<p>The node performs duplicate address detection to verify the uniqueness
|
||
of the address before assigning it to an interface. The node sends out a
|
||
neighbor solicitation query to the new address and waits for a response. If
|
||
the node does not receive a response, then the address is assumed to be unique.
|
||
If the node receives a response in the form of a neighbor advertisement, the
|
||
address is already in use. If a node determines that its tentative IPv6 address
|
||
is not unique, then autoconfiguration stops and manual configuration of the
|
||
interface is required.</p>
