Host Is Missing IPv6 Settings: Stateful DHCP Issues
Turning the page to yet another new scenario, our network engineer is now working a problem for a user of a host D. The engineer has called and asked the user to issue a few commands, and the engineer has determined that the host is trying to dynamically learn its IPv6 settings and that the host does not have an IPv6 unicast address yet.
For the sake of discussion, assume that this network uses a strategy of assigning IPv6 addresses using DHCPv6 to assign IPv6 addresses. The engineer knows this strategy, so the engineer is already wondering why the process failed. This scenario walks through some potential root causes of straightforward mistakes.
