SLAAC can do that without any DHCP present at all.

Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on January 18, 2026, 11:35:58 PMI have only ever seen these:ahcicho 0: Timeout on slot 7 port 0
CAM Status: Command Timeout
Retrying command, 2 more tries remain
with dying devices. If I saw that in a new unit I would never put that into production before I had successfully eliminated the cause. Timeouts in the CAM subsystem must not happen. If they do, something is broken. Never ignore them.
What do you mean by "vanilla" and "backwards compatible"? Save the configuration from your current unit, fix the hardware, install the very same version, restore configuration ...
Quote from: franco on Today at 04:05:14 AMThe firmware health audit can probably confirm?Not sure if there is one, I already ordered a replacement so will replace and see how it goes. Hopefully the reboot will be instant compared to the current one where it takes quite a while to reboot.

DHCPv6 with prefix and RA managed on carpv6 (also updated with IPv6 changes) and RA advertises fddd:31e8:3076:XX:YY
Do not send any DNS configuration to clients
fddd:31e8:3076:: is an ULA prefix that is not routed outside of your LAN, unless you use NAT66 or you still have the assigned GUA prefix IPv6s on top for outside access. If you use those ULA IPs for server access, fine.
But then, why / how do you rely on ISC DHCPv6?
I can see only two things it could provide: routeable IPv6 addresses, which can be handed out via SLAAC as well and leases and/or reservations which allow to use internal DNS names (which you say you do not use).
Frankly, I do not get what you are missing.
