Once you enable RA on the router all IPv6 capable clients will get an IP
address from the network you are advertising.

DHCP in the context of IPv6 (except for PD) is only used if you want to set
the client DNS automatically, but in order for the client to go to the DHCP
server you need to set the managed bit to the RA messages.

Hope this clears things a bit.
