Hi Ted,

Yes. In such Managed Networks, SLAAC is disabled and IPv6 addresses are only 
assigned using DHCPv6 server. Switches in such environments provide First Hop 
Security by gleaning DHCP/NDP messages and can make sure hosts are using the 
IPv6 addresses assigned by the DHCPv6 server only (Source Guard). With the 
technique in this draft only certain hosts will be permitted assignment of 
IA_TA and not for other hosts.
