.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }} {{ var4 }} 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 }} ipv6 address autoconf
