.. 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
