4. Dynamic IPv4 Address Allocation
I need an IPv4 addressing information from a DHCP server.
DHCP Server
DHCP Client
Here is your IPv4 address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server addresses.

5. All Dynamic Addressing Begins with the RA Message
Multicast: To all IPv6 routers, I need IPv6 address information
ICMPv6 Router Advertisement
ICMPv6 Router Solicitation
DHCPv6 Server
Multicast: To all IPv6 devices,
let me tell you how to do this …
I might not even be needed. 
An ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) suggests to all IPv6 devices on the link how it will receive IPv6 Address Information.
Sent periodically by an IPv6 router or…
… when the router receives a Router Solicitation message from a host.

6. Router Advertisement: 3 Methods
Method 1 and 2: Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
DHCPv6 Server does not maintain state of addresses
Method 3: Stateful Address Configuration
Address received from DHCPv6 Server
DHCPv6
Router(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
DHCPv6 Server
Method 1: SLAAC – No DHCPv6 (Default on Cisco routers)
“I’m everything you need (Prefix, Prefix-length, Default Gateway)”
Method 2: SLAAC + Stateless DHCPv6 for DNS address
“Here is my information but you need to get other information such as DNS addresses from a DHCPv6 server.” (DNS can be in RA)
Method 3: All addressing except default gateway use DHCPv6
“I can’t help you. Ask a DHCPv6 server for all your information.” RA
Option 1 mostly what you need. Still need DNS server and domain name info.

7. Router Advertisement Flags
RA Address Allocation Method
A Flag
(SLAAC)
Default: On
O Flag
(Stateless DHCPv6)
Default: Off
M Flag
(Stateful DHCPv6)
Method 1: SLAAC (default)
1 (on)
0 (off)
Method 2: SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6
Method 3: Stateful DHCPv6
N/A
RA message contains three flags to tell a device how to obtain or create its global unicast address:
Address Autoconfiguration flag (A flag): When set to 1 (on), this flag tells the receiving host to use SLAAC to create its global unicast address.
Other Configuration flag (O flag): When set to 1 (on), this flag tells the host to get other addressing information, other than its global unicast address, from a stateless DHCPv6 server.
Managed Address Configuration flag (M flag): When set to 1 (on), this flag tells the host to use a stateful DHCPv6 server for its global unicast address and all other addressing information.

9. Method 3 and the “A” Flag 1 1 (default) Yes No
As a Windows host I will still use the RA prefix to create temporary (SLAAC) addresses)
ICMPv6 RA
M Flag = 1
A Flag = 1
G 0/1
DHCPv6
DHCPv6 Server
Method
Managed Configuration (“M”) Flag
Address Autoconfiguration (“A”) Flag
Prefix in RA can be used for SLAAC
Method 3: All addressing except default gateway use DHCPv6 1
1 (default)
Yes No
The autonomous address configuration (A) flag tells hosts that they can create an address for themselves by combining the prefix in the RA with an interface identifier.

<output omitted for brevity>
Many, if not most environments that implement stateful DHCPv6 have an addressing need or policy where devices obtain their address only from the stateful DHCPv6 server.
To manage and track IP addresses on the network
Don’t want devices arbitrarily creating their own IP addresses.
Therefore, we want to eliminate the SLAAC process by setting the A Flag to 0.

39. Consequences of the Disabling the RA Message
What’s my default gateway?
What is my local prefix?
G 0/0
2001:db8:cafe:1::/64
ICMPv6 Router Advertisement
2001:db8:cafe:1::100/64
2001:db8:cafe:1::200/64
Why not just disable router R1 from sending the RA message on its G0/0 interface?
RA message provides two important pieces of information for devices that that can’t be obtained dynamically from a DHCPv6 server:
Default gateway address – This is the address used to forward all packets with a destination IPv6 address on another link or subnet (off-link).
Without this information, devices cannot communicate with devices that are on a remote network.
On-link prefix – The L Flag (On-link Flag) indicates that a specific prefix is on this link or subnet.
Without this information, all packets will be sent to the default gateway.

40. Consequences of the Removing the Prefix
To: Server A
I have to send everything to the default gateway
G 0/0
2001:db8:cafe:1::/64
ICMPv6 RA
NO Prefix, L Flag OFF
2001:db8:cafe:1::100/64
Server A
2001:db8:cafe:1::200/64
Why not just remove the prefix from the RA message…
Problem…
The relationship between the prefix and the L flag.
If the prefix is omitted from the RA message, the device cannot receive on-link prefix information…
… resulting in all packets being sent to the default gateway.
Other devices that use this prefix can’t be reached directly without sending these packets to the router (default gateway).

41. Consequences of the Removing the Prefix Send packets to Server A
2001:db8:cafe:1::/64
ICMPv6 RA
NO Prefix, L Flag OFF
Send packets to Server A
And
ICMPv6 Redirect to PC
2001:db8:cafe:1::100/64
Server A
2001:db8:cafe:1::200/64
If the prefix is omitted along with its associated L flag…
Devices send all packets to the router.
For any packets that the router receives and sends back out the same interface…
… the router sends a redirect message back to the source (you can get there on your own).
Possible ill effect of having the router generate a large number of redirect messages on the network.
In short…
Do not disable the RA message on an interface or omit the prefix from being advertised unless there are specific reasons to do so and you clearly understand the consequences.

42. ICMPv6 Router Advertisement
Solution: A Flag = 0
As a Windows host I will still use the RA prefix to create temporary (SLAAC) addresses)
G 0/1
ICMPv6 Router Advertisement
DHCPv6
Option 3 Stateful DHCPv6
O Flag = 0, M Flag = 1
No SLAAC: A Flag = 0
DHCPv6 Server
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Router(config-if)# ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
Router(config-if)# ipv6 nd prefix prefix/length no-autoconfig
no-autoconfig (Optional) Indicates to hosts on the local link that the specified prefix cannot be used for IPv6 autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
The prefix will be advertised with the A-bit clear (autonomous address-configuration flag).
The ipv6 nd prefix 2001:DB8:CAFE:120::/64 no-autoconfig command (set A flag off), coupled with the M flag set on, succeeds in getting Windows 7 to just populate one address, while still installing a default route on the client.
Temporary addresses[edit]
The globally unique and static MAC addresses, used by stateless address autoconfiguration to create interface identifiers, offer an opportunity to track user equipment—across time and IPv6 network prefix changes—and so users.[33] To reduce the prospect of a user identity being permanently tied to an IPv6 address portion, a node may create temporary addresses with interface identifiers based on time-varying random bit strings[34] and relatively short lifetimes (hours to days), after which they are replaced with new addresses.
Temporary addresses may be used as source address for originating connections, while external hosts use a public address by querying the Domain Name System.
Network interfaces configured for IPv6 use temporary addresses by default in OS X Lion or later Apple systems, and in Windows Vista, Windows 2008 Server or later Microsoft systems.

Relay agent creates a RELAY-FORWARD message containing the original DHCPv6 message from the client and forwards the message to a server.
The ipv6-address can be:
Unicast or multicast IPv6 address
Link-scope: The output interface must be specified for this kind of address.
From the client perspective similar forwarding DHCPv4 messages with the ip helper command.
Managed-config-flag for stateful or other-config-flag for stateless.
The relay agent creates a RELAY-FORWARD message containing the original
SOLICIT message from the client and forwards the message to a server using
the All_DHCP_Servers multicast address FF05::1:3 with site-local scope. The
relay agent can also be configured to use a unicast address for the DHCPv6
server.

Private IPv4 Address
DHCPv4 /8

ISP only has to deliver a public IPv4 address for Home router interface.
DHCPv4 and RFC 1918 private address space is used for home network.
NAT is used for translation – but has its drawbacks!
No NAT between private-public IPv6 (always in debate)
ISP doesn’t have to worry about the home network address. RFC 1918 takes care of that.

IPv6 Address for the interface:
SLAAC
DHCPv6 (Stateful or Stateless)
First, HOME’s ISP facing interface needs an IPv6 address.
Similar to any IPv6 client it may dynamically get an address using:
SLAAC - Using prefix in RA
Stateless DHCPv6 – SLAAC but DHCPv6 for DNS address
Stateful DHCPv6 - Like DHCPv4
What about the address for the HOME LAN?

HOME-RR first gets an IPv6 address on its ISP-facing interface, then:
Step 1: Request a Prefix for its LAN(s)
Step 2: Subnet the prefix for its LANs (optional) – Get a /48 but assign /64s
Step 3: Assign an IPv6 address from the prefix to its LAN interface
Advertises the prefix in a Router Advertisement to devices on the LAN

HOME assigns an address from the prefix to its LAN interface and…
advertises the prefix out its interface using ICMPv6 RA messages
HOME assigns the prefix or subnets of the prefix to one or more interfaces
Example: HOME interfaces are assigned /64 subnets from the /48 prefix

Rapid commit option can be used with the ipv6 dhcp client pd DHCPV6-PREFIX-FROM-ISP command
Enabling the ipv6 dhcp client pdcommand starts the DHCP for IPv6 client process if this process is not yet running.
The ipv6 dhcp client pdcommand enables request for prefix delegation through the interface on which this command is configured. When prefix delegation is enabled and a prefix is successfully acquired, the prefix is stored in the IPv6 general prefix pool with an internal name defined by the ipv6-prefixargument. Other commands and applications (such as the ipv6 address command) can then refer to the prefixes in the general prefix pool.
The hint keyword with the ipv6-prefix argument enables the configuration of an IPv6 prefix that will be included in DHCP for IPv6 solicit and request messages sent by the DHCP for IPv6 client on the interface as a hint to prefix-delegating routers. Multiple prefixes can be configured by issuing the ipv6 dhcp client pd hintipv6-prefix command multiple times. The new prefixes will not overwrite old ones.
The rapid-commit keyword enables the use of the two-message exchange for prefix delegation and other configuration. If it is enabled, the client will include the rapid commit option in a solicit message.
The DHCP for IPv6 client, server, and relay functions are mutually exclusive on an interface. When one of these functions is already enabled and a user tries to configure a different function on the same interface, one of the following messages is displayed: "Interface is in DHCP client mode," "Interface is in DHCP server mode," or "Interface is in DHCP relay mode."
Examples
The following example enables prefix delegation:
Router(config-if)# ipv6 dhcp client pd dhcp-prefix
The following example configures a hint for prefix-delegating routers:
Router(config-if)# ipv6 dhcp client pd hint 2001:0DB8:1/48
