You are allowed to do either / both, or DHCP. If you are talking about a
server you want a static value, while it may not make sense to explicitly
manage every client. If you don't want to statically configure devices there
is always DHCPv6. The point is you can do what you do today, then there are
new capabilities for autoconfiguration that can be used when it makes sense
to lower operational costs.
