Without IPv6 routing enabled at the router, all hosts get the Link-Local addresses.

Enable LAN Routing at Router computer

Creating a static IPv6 routing infrastructure

Two subnets of Global Addresses:2001:0:0:1::/64 and 2001:0:0:2::/64

Router computer:
netsh interface ipv6 set interface "192.168.1.1" forwarding=enabled advertise=enabled
netsh interface ipv6 set interface "192.168.11.7" forwarding=enabled advertise=enabled

netsh interface ipv6 add route 2001:0:0:1::/64 "192.168.1.1" publish=yes
netsh interface ipv6 add route 2001:0:0:2::/64 "192.168.11.7" publish=yes

Restart all client computers
You will find all computers have the Global Addresses--stateless
2003 server computer:

   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 2001::2:203:ffff:fecc:b5eb
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::203:ffff:fecc:b5eb%5
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.11.7

Vista computer:

IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2001::1:e591:7892:dd96:2aa1
Temporary IPv6 Address. . . . . . : 2001::1:c1e3:b2f0:32a2:b1b2
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::e591:7892:dd96:2aa1%10
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

You can ping 2001::2:203:ffff:fecc:b5eb from Vista computer.

IPv6 host can have other options, such as default gateway address, DNS server address, domain prefix, etc. All these options can be provisioned by DHCP server.

netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection" otherstateful=enabled

What is STATEFUL?
DHCP6 is a stateful address configuration protocol. A host uses stateful address configuration (e.g. DHCP6) when it receives Router Advertisement messages that do not include address prefixes and require that the host use a stateful address configuration (e.g. DHCP6). When there is no router present on the local link, a host will also use a stateful address configuration protocol, e.g. DHCP6.

The IPv6 protocol for the Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP does not support the use of a stateful address configuration protocol.

What is STATELESS?

There is a router in local link. The Router Advertisement messages include stateless address prefixes and require that hosts not use a DHCP6 (a stateful address configuration protocol).

The following network does not have a DHCPv6 router.

netsh interface ipv6 delete route 2001:0:0:1::/64 "192.168.1.1"
netsh interface ipv6 delete route 2001:0:0:2::/64 "192.168.11.7"

netsh interface ipv6 set interface "192.168.1.1" forwarding=disabled advertise=disabled
netsh interface ipv6 set interface "192.168.11.7" forwarding=disabled advertise=disabled

You can set up a DHCP server. The host computers will get IPV6 addresses by DHCP6 protocol – stateful.


MSI-2008-R2 router doe not advertise ipv6 messages. The clients will get ipv6 addresses by DHCP6 protocol—stateful.

Test.Communicate.com DHCP Server
Configure its local NIC with a unique local address fd01:0:0:1::10
Create a ipv6 scope with prefix: fd01:0:0:1::/64

You can force the IPv6 hosts to use the stateful addressing -- using DHCP6 protocol

netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection" managedaddress=disabled
