Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC):
- Overview: SLAAC allows devices to automatically configure their own IPv6 addresses without needing a server. A device generates its address based on the network prefix (received from a router) and its own interface identifier (often derived from its MAC address).
- How it Works:
- The router advertises the network prefix using ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) messages.
- Devices listen to these messages, construct their address by appending their interface ID to the prefix, and use Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) to ensure address uniqueness.
- Advantages: No need for a DHCP server, simpler setup.
- Limitations: Less control over address assignment and no central logging or tracking of addresses.

In SLAAC, a device automatically configures its IPv6 address and default gateway when joining a network. The router sends a Router Advertisement (RA) message containing the network prefix, which the device uses to generate its full IPv6 address by combining it with its unique identifier (like its MAC address). The RA message also provides the address of the default gateway (the router’s address), which the device uses to send traffic destined for outside networks. This enables the device to communicate both within the local network and with external networks like the internet

To set up an IP-CORE network, you mainly use core and distribution routers, all configured with IPv6 to handle network traffic and services.
