Explanation:

SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) is a mechanism that enables each host on the network to auto-configure a unique IPv6 address without any device keeping track of which address is assigned to which node12.SLAAC uses link-local addresses and the interface's MAC address or a random number to generate the host portion of the IPv6 address2.SLAAC also relies on Router Solicitation (RS) and Router Advertisement (RA) messages to obtain the network prefix and other information from a router12. Therefore, to change an entire subnet of SLAAC-configured workstation addresses, the network engineer needs to change the address prefix in a router and let the router advertise the new prefix with an ND (Neighbor Discovery) message.This way, the workstations will receive the new prefix and update their IPv6 addresses accordingly3.
