Just wondering is there anyway to active/apply authentication for the

autoconfiguration method?
Stateless auto configuration is a client-side thing --- the client
takes the prefix, and appends an EUI-64 to get the 128-bit address.
The only way I can think of to authenticate before that is with, e.g.,
802.1x (did I get the right standard?) which does it before switching
any traffic from the port.
Another alternative is to force authentication right after getting the
address and before you route any traffic from/to it, sort of like nocat.
