Summary

Typically, DHCPv6 does not configure the default gateway for IPv6 clients. Instead, the default gateway is usually provided via Router Advertisements (RAs) from IPv6 routers as part of the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), rather than through DHCPv6.
Also prefix length is more accurate term for IPv6 "netmask".
