- wmf 10y agoDevices tend to self-assign IPv6 addresses using SLAAC, but the router would still have MAC-to-IP mappings in its neighbor table. Or some cases the router assigns it using DHCPv6.
- johncolanduoni 10y agoJust to clear things up for people unfamiliar with IPv6, the ISP does have some input in this process: they give your router a unique prefix (basically a subnet) which the router delegates to the devices in your network.
