Why do you think this? What led you to assuming these things?
You would only need to configure any of this if you want to allow external connections, which isn't much different than setting up port forwarding with IPv4 + NAT, except with IPv6 it's less complicated.
- tjoff 4y agoLiterally the post I answered. Fact: SLAAC does not do DNS. So, my question then is: how do you do DNS? Answer: "The SLAAC should not change after the host has generated it during installation / first connection, as long as you don't reinstall the OS etc." Since SLAAC does not do DNS that answer implies that you'd enter it during connection/installation to complete the config.
- jeroenhd 4y agoSLAAC installations can use RDNSS to configure DNS. Windows, according to Wikipedia, doesn't support it, but if you want to please Microsoft there's stateless DHCPv6 (which does not maintain leases, configure addresses, or do anything else that SLAAC doesn't do already; it can be simple piece of software in comparison). On the other hand, Android and ChromeOS don't support DHCPv6 for DNS server provisioning because of Google's opinion about all matters related to DHCPv6. A pain, but not impossible to overcome either. As for unchanging addresses, SLAAC is bound to the device MAC address so a reinstall should give you the same IP. However, you are/should be running privacy extensions, which means your outgoing IP will rotate to prevent tracking (as your IP is based on your MAC address and using that would make tracking way too easy). You'll still have the same primary IP, though, unless you add a second device to the network with the same MAC address.
