    Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is an IPv6 mechanism that allows devices to configure their own IP addresses without requiring a DHCP server. It uses Router Advertisements (RA) sent by routers to communicate essential network configuration information like prefixes, subnet masks, and default gateways.

    SLAAC is a method that allows a device to automatically configure its own IPv6 address without needing a central server (like a DHCP server) to assign it one.
