Hi Andrei,

Default gateways for IPv6 is always configured with Router Advertisements (RA), no matter what addressing mode is used. Please ensure that:

- you have a virtual router connected to your IPv6 subnet, this would provide RA (and actual router) in your network
- accept_ra is enabled in your guest OS: sysctl -a | grep accept_ra

I suppose the default gateway should be obtained through dhcp6 rather than neighbor discovery, because I set both ipv6_address_mode and ipv6_ra_mode to dhcpv6-stateful.
