And you have not said if the automatically given IPv6 address will stay fixed.
That depends on which one you're talking about. With SLAAC, you will get one consistent address based on the MAC address or a random number. With SLAAC, you will also get a new privacy address every day, each of which is valid four 7 days. You'd use the consistent address when you try to connect to a device. The most recent privacy address for outgoing connections.
Ok, the MAC based addresses will have to do.
Most of what you say is absurd.
Well, I'm the one who has been using IPv6 for over 9 years. I am also a Cisco CCNA.
Me too.
In addition, my reference is this book: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023432.do
I have also done a lot of other self study, including examining a *LOT* of packets with Wireshark.
