No familiarity with DHCPv6, so an ignorant question... What needs the static address assigned? Is it the machine handing out addresses, or the machine receiving the assignment? And, if the former, why would that be an issue? I would think it pretty much a requirement. I *did* just go to a

So SLAAC will only work if you have unique MAC addresses? If you use Hyper-V, then the pool of MAC addresses assigned to the guests is based off a pool generated from the host's IP address. If you build servers in a build factory, then you'll end up with duplicate MAC addresses for your

I was only referring to the server needing a fixed address not any of the clients. I have always thought that you had to have at least some fixed point to refer to when using DHCP that being the server or more correctly the server's address. Now if we don't need DHCP at all and still get things
