Which of the following best describes the process utilized by devices to automatically configure their own IPv6 addresses using SLAAC when no DHCPv6 server is present?
Devices extract an IPv6 prefix from router advertisements and combine it automatically with an interface identifier derived from their MAC address.
Network administrators manually assign IPv6 addresses to each device in accordance with an IP address management policy.
Devices send a request to the nearest DHCPv6 server to obtain an IPv6 address and additional configuration settings.
Stateless Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC) allows IPv6 capable devices to configure their own IPv6 addresses by combining a locally available prefix broadcasted from an IPv6 router with a locally derived interface identifier. This configuration method is essential in environments without a DHCPv6 server. The other options present techniques involving manual configuration or DHCP-based methods, which do not correctly represent the autonomous address setup process done by SLAAC.
