Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SLAAC is designed to be a simple, automatic approach to assigning IPv6 addresses. It is defined in RFC4862 and is specifically used to assign only a global unicast IPv6 address, an IPv6 prefix length, and, optionally, a default router. These are the minimum network parameters required for communication on the network.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three ways for IPv6 client to acquire IPv6 addresses: Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLACC) Stateful DHCPv6. Static Configuration.
