What is IPv6 LAN?
IPv6 is the Internet protocol designed to replace IPv4. It was designed to allow for more IP addresses than the current IPv4 protocol allows. IPv6 also utilizes a new header in order to lower the amount of processing time needed to pass through a network.
Which IPv6 address is used to assign nodes in the LAN?
Based on the IPv6 Addressing Architecture (RFC 4291), the standard IPv6 prefix length for LANs is a /64 which provides an astronomically large number of possible host Interface Identifiers (IIDs).
How does an IPv6 address work in a LAN?
IPv6 clients in the LAN with an IP address. The IPv6 clients in the LAN obtain an interface IP address, configuration information such as DNS server information, and other parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic address. For stateful DHCPv6, you need to configure IPv6 address pools (see Configure IPv6 LAN Address
