When SLAAC is used, which address will a client use as its default gateway?

  • The connecting router interface GUA
  • The connecting router link-local address
  • The IPv6 all-nodes group multicast IPv6 address FF02::1
  • The IPv6 all-routers group multicast IPv6 address FF02::2

Explanation: Unless a device has been configured statically with a default gateway address, the device can only obtain its default gateway dynamically from the Router Advertisement message. The device will use the link-local address of the router interface, the source IPv6 address of the RA, that is attached to the LAN segment as its IPv6 default gateway address.
