      Is there any way to selectivity change the RA for one host to manged instead of assisted? I know there is none in the GUI...
      I want to use rules on that host, but don't want to change the RA to manged for the others.

        No, the RA is used to provide the config info for the LAN. Anything on the LAN must be able to work with it. What you can do is create rules based on the IP address for that host.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          @JKnott said in DHCPv6 Server - selectivity change the RA for one host:

          See, that is the problem, IP with privacy extensions you can't, right?

            Do you get privacy addresses with DHCPv6? I don't use it, so I don't know, but don't think so.
            Regardless, the only thing you can do is add additional prefixes, but that won't do what you want, as it affects all devices.

              If you are using dhcpv6, then the client should not be using privacy addresses..

                @johnpoz They will not, if I do manged, but some will (Windows), if I do assisted under RA. And, like I said, for this interface, I don't want to change RA to manged.

                  Then create a new vlan, and put devices that you want to do whatever xyz on that vlan, and devices you want to do abc on a different vlan that you setup that way and with rules you want, etc.
