A few clarifications here:
- I think the text of the spec is a little misleading. With NWAM, it's not
possible to
disable DHCP or autoconf for v6 interfaces. That's actually correct,
according to
IPv6 spec, though non-nwam configuration on solaris has allowed them to be
disabled on the host. So the network interface will always attempt to
obtain IPv6
addresses both via DHCP and via autoconf.
- The IPv6 specs also require something called the link-local address to be
assigned
to every v6 interface. This is the fe80::... address you see assigned to
logical interface
0. There is no option to disable or remove this address, ever. It will
always be there.
- The DHCP flag you see on the v6 interface simply means that DHCP is being
attempted
on this interface; it does not mean that this address was acquired via DHCP.
So, I think the behavior you're seeing is actually the correct, expected
behavior.
