Depending on how the router is configured, the system automatically invokes DHCPv6 on the interface on which the Router Advertisement message was received and uses DHCP to get an address and other parameters, or the system requests only data other than an address (for example, DNS servers) with DHCPv6.

No.  If you're getting output from dhcpinfo, then DHCP is running.  As I
noted before "ifconfig -a" will also show you that DHCP is running.

The problem appears to be the local plumbing, not the router.
