    Abstract: An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes memory storing identification of at least an external electronic device, to which an IPv6-based IP address is allocatable, a communication circuit, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: receiving, from the external electronic device, a router solicitation including a link local address generated by the external electronic device, and identification information of the external electronic device, confirming whether the identification information of the external electronic device included in the router solicitation is stored in the memory, and if so, transmitting a router advertisement including information related to generation of the IP address to the external electronic device.
