Stateless address autoconfiguration

Follow these steps to configure an interface to generate an IPv6 address by using stateless address

autoconfiguration:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type

Configure an IPv6 address to be
generated through stateless

address autoconfiguration

ipv6 address auto

Required
By default, no IPv6 site-local address
or global unicast address is

configured on an interface.

NOTE:

Using the undo ipv6 address auto command on an interface will remove all IPv6 global unicast addresses
automatically generated on the interface.

With stateless address autoconfiguration enabled on an interface, the device automatically generates an

IPv6 global unicast address by using the address prefix information in the received RA message and the
interface ID. On an IEEE 802 interface (such as an Ethernet interface or a VLAN interface), the interface

ID is generated based on the MAC address of the interface, and is globally unique. As a result, the

interface ID portion of the IPv6 global address remains unchanged and thus exposes the sender. An

attacker can further exploit communication details such as the communication peer and time. To fix the
