You must have RA to at least tell you: Default Router Go ask the DHCP server (M and/or O bit) As it currently stands, an RFC-compliant host will not attempt to solicit a DHCP response unless it receives an RA with the M inclusive-or O bits set.
RFC 4862 seems to acknowledge otherwise: 5.5.2. Absence of Router Advertisements Even if a link has no routers, the DHCPv6 service to obtain addresses may still be available, and hosts may want to use the service.[...] Could you point to any RFC which implies or explicitly states that DHCPv6 MUST NOT be used in absence of RA with M and/or O=1?
