IPv6 addressesing works a little differently than IPv4. Each IPv6 node has a link-local address (these start with fe80), which is self-assigned by the node.
In addition, it can have one or more routable addresses. These can be statically configured, self-assigned, or assigned using DHCPv6.
So how does one assign IPv6 address to the internal LAN?
I use DHCP for IPv4, but I don't get what I am supposed to do with IPv6, the interface seem to have a self assigned IPv6 address, but then I heard that I can use dhcp6 as well... other have said that I'll just need a IPv6 address block such as a /64.

Totally confused.
