[j-nsp] Cannot auto-configure the router interface IPv6 address?

Hi Huan,

This is not currently possible on a Junos OS router. You must assign the address or at least the prefix portion of the address and then use EUI-64 to auto-generate the interface ID portion, which is based on the interface's hardware address. Hope this helps.

Jared

Hi list,

Could someone please confirm if we can or can not configure the router
interface to get an IPv6 address automatically. I read more than one place
that says this is not possible, but I could not find an official link from
Juniper website to confirm it. It is disappointing, if this is the case.

Regards,

Huan
