+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
+ {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} 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 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ipv6 address autoconf
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
+ {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ipv6 address eui64 <prefix>
+
+ :abbr:`EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier)` as specified in
+ :rfc:`4291` allows a host to assign iteslf a unique 64-Bit IPv6 address.
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:beef::/64
