Part of the lab mentions:
Note:
DHCPv6 SLAAC(Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)
Reason to use DHCPv6 on a network that uses SLAAC is to push DNS and other information to the clients
SLAAC is by far the easiest way to configure IPv6 addresses, simply because you don’t have to configure any IPv6
address. With SLAAC, a host uses the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) to determine its IP address and default
routers. Using SLAAC, a host requests and listens for Router Advertisements (RA) messages, and then taking the prefix
that is advertised to form a unique address that can be used on the network. For this to work, the prefix that is advertised
must advertise a prefix length of 64 bits (i.e., /64). But the most significant of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
(SLAAC) is it provided no mechanism for configuring DNS resolver information.
Therefore SLACC can be used along with DHCPv6 (Stateless) to push DNS and other information to the clients.
I don't understand how this would push DNS or other information to the clients. Does this mean it pushes prefixes that are the same as the DNS prefix so the client is able to reach it? I had a difficult time interpreting this.
Any advice?
