+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> ipv6 address autoconf
+
+
+ :abbr:`SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)`
+ :rfc:`4862`. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected
+ to an IPv6 network using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol via :abbr:`ICMPv6
+ (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6)` router discovery messages.
+ When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router
+ solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers
+ respond to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains
+ Internet Layer configuration parameters.
+
+ .. note:: This method automatically disables IPv6 traffic forwarding on the
+ interface in question.
+
+ Example:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} ipv6 address autoconf
