i want to use ipv6 stateless config to give an ipv6 address to an interface, with a default route towards the server. Is it possible without enabling "ipv6 unicast-routing" on client side.

Hi Harpal,
It is certainly possible to do that. Bear in mind that without "ipv6 unicast-routing" the router will simply act as a host.
You would need to use the following command on the router acting as a host:
int e0/0
ipv6 address autoconfig
Hope this helps

thanks Harold for reply,
i also want to generate a default route, that's why i am using command "ip address autoconfig default" . But without enabling "ipv6 unicast routing" , it is not generating default route. Is it possible to generate default route without enabling ipv6 unicast routing ,
Restriction- you cannot make static entry for default route

Hi Harpal,
I am not sure I understand what you mean by "I also want to generate a default route". Do you mean that you want to install the default in the local routing table? As the router acts as a host, it doesn't really matter whether a route is installed in the in the local routing table. The device will use the information via SLAAC to forward packets just like any other hosts would. If you want to see the router information, you can use the "show ipv6 router" command.
Hope this helps
