I want a stateful address from the router. How?
a) are you using OpenBSD?
b) have you followed the guide I linked to:
https://www.alextsang.net/articles/20230413-125757/index.html
And if you have pf running on the client, you gotta create rules to
allow DHCPv6 traffic.

Btw: keep answers on the list, misc@ in this case

Hey,
I'm in a corporate environment. I want to receive a dhcp6 stateful
address. How can i very simply get a stateful address. I'm not doing
delegation or anything. All the tutorials online are for configuring
routers etc.
Install and configure dhcpcd for stateful IPv6. You can follow a
router configuration and just leave out the PD stuff.
E.g. https://www.alextsang.net/articles/20230413-125757/index.html
The gist is edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf and make sure dhcpcd is only used
for the IPv6 configuration and only on the WAN facing interface by
adding:
ipv6only
allowinterfaces <insert your WAN facing interface>
'slaac private' (stateless configuration) is already enabled in the
default /etc/dhcpcd.conf.
Stop and disable slaacd and start and enable dhcpcd.
