DHCPv6 and statically configured global unicast or anycast addresses are
mutually exclusive on a given VLAN. That is, configuring DHCPv6 on a
VLAN erases any static global unicast or anycast addresses previously
configured on that VLAN, and the reverse. (A statically configured link-
local address will not be affected by configuring DHCPv6 on the VLAN.)
For the same subnet on the switch, a DHCPv6 global unicast address
■
assignment takes precedence over an autoconfigured address assign
ment, regardless of which address type was the first to be configured. If
DHCPv6 is subsequently removed from the configuration, then an auto-
configured address assignment will replace it after the next router adver
tisement is received on the VLAN. DHCPv6 and autoconfigured addresses
co-exist on the same VLAN if they belong to different subnets.
