Of course, if they don’t want to then you’re down to internal politics and potentially you end up reporting back to management that you can’t implement what’s asked for because others are actively sabotaging the network (that’s how I’d describe it if supposed network admins are doing nothing to deal with rogue services like this.)

Hi, Simon,

There is a quote that says that it is wrong to attributed to active sabotaging what can be explained with neglect and stupidity.

I believe in the most cases these are simply the default settings for the devices. Probably someone in those companies thinks that it is a good idea to have a dozen of DHCPv6 servers who do not talk to each other and have no ideas of other server's IPv6 range - all on the same subnet.

Regards,
Mirsad
