.. 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
