    Study Notes

    SLAAC Overview

    • Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) allows hosts to configure their own IPv6 global unicast addresses without needing a DHCPv6 server.
    • SLAAC is stateless, meaning no server maintains addressing information.
    • ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) messages are sent periodically (every 200 seconds) to assist hosts in configuring their addresses.

    Router Solicitation and Advertisement

    • Hosts can send Router Solicitation (RS) messages to request Router Advertisement (RA) messages.
    • RA messages contain address configuration information for hosts utilizing SLAAC.
    • R1 configured with:
      • Link-local address: fe80::1
      • Global Unicast Address (GUA): 2001:db8:acad:1::1
      • Subnet: 2001:db8:acad:1::/64
      • IPv6 all-nodes multicast group: ff02::1

    RA Message Flags

    • Flags in RA messages inform hosts how to configure addressing:
      • A flag (Autoconfiguration flag): Set to 1, indicates using SLAAC to create a GUA.
      • O flag (Other Configuration flag): Set to 1, indicates additional configuration info is available from a stateless DHCPv6 server.
      • M flag (Managed Address Configuration flag): Indicates the use of a stateful DHCPv6 server for obtaining a GUA.

    Host Configuration Processes

    • Hosts typically acquire a 64-bit IPv6 subnet from RA and generate a unique 64-bit interface identifier (ID) through:
      • Random generation: Used by default in Windows 10.
      • EUI-64 method: Uses the host's MAC address to create an interface ID; however, this raises privacy concerns.

    Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)

    • DAD ensures the generated GUA is unique through ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages.
    • The solicited-node multicast address duplicates the last 24 bits of the host's IPv6 address.

    Stateless DHCPv6

    • When the RA indicates stateless DHCPv6, the host uses RA message information for addressing and contacts a DHCPv6 server for additional configurations.
    • The DHCPv6 server provides configuration parameters but does not maintain IPv6 address bindings.

    Stateful DHCPv6

    • If the RA indicates stateful DHCPv6, the host relies solely on the DHCPv6 server for all configuration information.

    Commands and Configuration

    • To enable SLAAC, routers must join the IPv6 all-routers group using the "ipv6 unicast-routing" command.
    • Use "show ipv6 interface" command to verify router settings.
    • The command "ipv6 nd other-config-flag" sets the O flag to 1 for stateless DHCPv6; "no ipv6 nd other-config-flag" resets it to SLAAC only.

    ICMPv6 Messages

    • PC sends an RS message to the all-routers multicast address (ff02::2) to request an RA.
    • The router replies with an RA message sent to the all-nodes multicast address (ff02::1), which the PC uses to configure its IPv6 settings.
