Re: IPv6 Stateless Configuration

You need all to be part of the same Ethernet network. So if this UTM can act as a bridge/switch you should be ok. 
Otherwise the RA broadcasts need to reach your device so it guesses the network and add it's Mac address to the network 
and make an ipv6 address.

I would say RA is a bit like DHCP in your case in terms of network topology but beside that RA is simpler (no leases 
table).

Hi,

  First time poster here. I would just like to ask what are the flags on
router advertisement to enable a host to autoconfigure its IPv6 address.
There is this device that I'm configuring that I cant get RA to work. I was
able to work out the connectivity from the device to the IPv6 internet, but
the problem is host behind this device is not getting its unique global ipv6
address. The device is a cyberoam UTM.

Thanks! Rod Bio.
