ipv6 dhcp server
If the packet was directly received from the client, the server performs this same matching, but it uses
all the IPv6 addresses configured on the incoming interface when performing the match. Once again, the
server selects the longest prefix match.
The
rapid-commit
keyword enables the use of the two-message exchange.
If the
preference
keyword is configured with a value other than 0, the server adds a preference option
to carry the preference value for the advertise messages. This action affects the selection of a server by
the client. Any advertise message that does not include a preference option is considered to have a
preference value of 0. If the client receives an advertise message with a preference value of 255, the
client immediately sends a request message to the server from which the message was received.
If the
allow-hint
keyword is specified, the server allocates a valid client-suggested address in the solicit
and request messages. The prefix address is valid if it is in the associated local prefix address pool and
it is not assigned to a device. If the
allow-hint
keyword is not specified, the server ignores the client
hint, and an address is allocated from the free list in the pool.
The DHCPv6 client, server, and relay functions are mutually exclusive on an interface. When one of
these functions is already enabled and you try to configure a different function on the same interface,
the switch returns one of these messages:
Interface is in DHCP client mode
Interface is in DHCP server mode
Interface is in DHCP relay mode
Examples

testgroup
:
