“One major feature of IPv6 is its ability to auto-configure the
host portion of the IP address using the MAC address from the
Network Card. We may have seen this already with the local-link
address, however, in this tutorial will look at configuring the
RAdvD on openSUSE 11 to advertise the Network Prefix and default
gateway so we can work with global addresses without any
configuration on the hosts. This will differ from DHCP as we do not
need to configure the RAdvD with the host addresses. These will
come from the hosts own MAC address helping us reach Zero
configuration networking. Or at least very little
configuration.”
