You need all to be part of the same Ethernet network. So if this UTM can act as a bridge/switch you should be ok. Otherwise the RA broadcasts need to reach your device so it guesses the network and add it's Mac address to the network and make an ipv6 address.

I would say RA is a bit like DHCP in your case in terms of network topology but beside that RA is simpler (no leases table).

Toute connaissance est une réponse à une question
