# Counter. The computer generates temporary addresses by using the interface identifier.
# You typically use this identifier for test purposes.
# Disabled. The computer does not use temporary addresses.
# Enabled. The computer uses temporary addresses.

# To disable the use of a random 64-bit interface ID and use EUI-64 for SLAAC
# and temporary addresses (disabled/enabled):
