My post said to use DHCPv6 and RDNSS. Follow up claimed to use SLAAC instead. SLAAC does not do DNS. Clear as day?

- tjohns 4y agoSLAAC does DNS, with the RDNSS extension enabled. (RDNSS is a feature that was added to SLAAC.) Some older devices [1] do not support RDNSS. I haven't run into them, but if you're at all worried about it, you can run DHCPv6 in parallel just to hand out DNS settings. Personally, I just use SLAAC (with RDNSS) and it just works.
