      Is it possible to enable the DHCPv6 server, without handing out client addresses?  My understanding is that with SLAAC, there is no need for a DHCPv6 server to provided addresses, but is often used for other purposes, such as NTP server address etc.  How is this done in pfSense?

      tnx jk

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

        IIRC if you set the Router Advertisements tab for that interface as "Stateless DHCP" it does what you want. SLAAC addresses with DHCP providing additional detail.

          I just changed that, but the address fields still appear on the DHCPv6 tab.
