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 re=
ach your device so it guesses the network and add it's Mac address to the ne=
twork and make an ipv6 address.
I would say RA is a bit like DHCP in your case in terms of network topology b=
ut beside that RA is simpler (no leases table).
