1. The host will automatically generate a link-local address starting with fe80::.
2. It will perform duplicate address detection to ensure the address is unique on the local link.
3. If the address is unique, it is assigned to the interface.

5. Upon receiving a router advertisement with network prefixes, the host will autoconfigure an IPv6 address by combining the prefix with its interface ID.
