I have two ipv6 addresses, one is from DHCPv6 (/128) and one from slaac (/64), with
nmcli connection modify iface ipv6.method "auto"
nmcli connection modify iface ipv6.addr-gen-mode "eui64"
nmcli connection modify iface ipv6.token "::dead:beef"
i made slaac address static, but i want to delete ipv6 from DHCPv6. Is it possible? In gui there's only "auto" and "auto, only dhcp" variants. I want "auto, only SLAAC" variant.
After a bunch of searching and experimentation it appears that the only setting that will accomplish this is ignore.
nmcli c mod enp10s0f4 ipv6.method ignore
This gave me only the SLAAC address and ignored DHCPv6 entirely. Unfortunately it also ignored the setting ipv6.addr-gen-mode and gave me an EUI64 address even though it was set to stable-privacy.

For my purposes this is acceptable but you'll have to decide for yourself whether you can accept trading one problem for another.
