In this episode, Ed, Scott, and Tom discuss how hosts OSes such as Windows, Apple, and Android automatically obtain both IPv6 addresses and DNS server information.
Topics discussed include:
- DHCPv6, SLAAC, and DNS configuration considerations
- What learned DNS information OSes might prefer and how that can impact operations
- Choosing an IPv6 auto-addressing operational model that works for your environment
