=> I don't think so. It should always know.
It's a network config and admin issue. The router doesn't
"learn" or "know" if DHCPv6 is available; rather, the
router is explicitly configured by the network admin to advertise the
availability of DHCPv6 to hosts. Presumably, the netowkr admin knows
whether DHCPv6 is available and configures the router appropriately.
=> Sure, that’s
why the end result is that the router knows whether DHCPv6 is available or not.
