(M flag) and Other Stateful Configuration flag (O flag) received in
Router Advertisement messages will determine the information this
switch should attempt to acquire from the DHCPv6 server as described
below.
Both M and O flags are set to 1:
■
DHCPv6 is used for both address and other configuration settings.
This combination is known as DHCPv6 stateful autoconfiguration, in
which a DHCPv6 server assigns stateful addresses to IPv6 hosts.
The M flag is set to 0, and the O flag is set to 1:
■
DHCPv6 is used only for other configuration settings.
Neighboring routers are configured to advertise non-link-local
address prefixes from which IPv6 hosts derive stateless addresses.
This combination is known as DHCPv6 stateless autoconfiguration,
in which a DHCPv6 server does not assign stateful addresses to
IPv6 hosts, but does assign stateless configuration settings.
