Explanation

The "ipv6 address autoconfig" command causes the device to perform IPv6 stateless address auto-configuration to discover prefixes on the link and then to add the EUI-64 based addresses to Addresses are configured depending on the prefixes received in Router Advertisement (RA) The device will listen for RA messages which are transmitted periodically from the router (DHCP This RA message allows a host to create a global IPv6 address from: + Its interface identifier (EUI-64 address) + Link Prefix (obtained via RA) Note: Global address is the combination of Link Prefix and EUI-64 address
