Ok, so it depends on stateless ipv6 provisioning, it makes sense ...
Prior of using radvd I was trying to setup a dhcpv6 server, the
problem it that while almost all the devices have slaac suport, most
of them doesn't have a proper dhcpv6 client.

Well, it seems that either I have to use some logic in my routers to
register the ips on my LAN or try to find the appropiate dhcpv6 client
for the devices trying to use our network.

Thank you very much for your help
