neighbor discovery is nothing more and nothing less than address
assignment plus route assignment.

Either you:

  use rtsol, get an EUI64 IP, and get your default route set by default

or you:

  assign a static IP, get your default route via 'route6d -q'

or you:

  assign a static IP, assign a static default route

I know of no other valid cases.
