Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 defines mechanisms for both stateful address and stateless address autoconfiguration. Stateless autoconfiguration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stateful vs Stateless DHCPv6 In this context stateless means that no server keeps track of what addresses have been assigned by which hosts and what addresses are still available for an assignment. A stateful DHCPv6 server provides IPv6 addresses and “other information” to hosts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The IPv6 address autoconfiguration automatically creates new IPv6 interfaces for a given line description, and assigns IPv6 addresses for the interfaces. You can configure a line description to perform IPv6 address autoconfiguration using either a wizard in System i® Navigator, or the character-based interface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stateless address autoconfiguration is the process that IPv6 nodes (hosts or routers) use to automatically configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces.
