DHCP relay agent for IPv6

43

If you want to re-enable the feature after disabling it,  you must specify the number of load-sharing 
paths. The maximum number of paths the device supports is a value from 2 – 8.  By entering a 
command such as the following, iPv6 load-sharing will be re-enabled. 

BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 load-sharing 4

Syntax: [no] ipv6 load-sharing<

num

>

The <

num

> parameter specifies the number of paths and can be from 2 – 8.  The default is 4..

Changing the maximum number of load sharing paths for 
IPv6

By default, IPv6 ECMP load sharing allows traffic to be balanced across up to four equal paths. You 
can change the maximum number of paths the device supports to a value from 2 – 8.

To change the number of ECMP load sharing paths for IPv6, enter a command such as the 
following.

BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 load-sharing 8

Syntax: [no] ipv6 load-sharing [<

num

>]

The <

num

> parameter specifies the number of paths and can be from 2 – 8.  The default is 4.

Changing the ECMP load-sharing method for IPv6

Brocade devices can perform ECMP load-sharing for IPv6 traffic based on destination host address 
or destination network. The default is network-based IP load sharing. If you want to enable the 
device to perform host-based IP load sharing instead, enter the following command.

BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 load-sharing by-host

Syntax: [no] ipv6 load-sharing by-host

This command enables host-based ECMP load sharing on the device. The command also disables 
network-based ECMP load-sharing at the same time.

DHCP relay agent for IPv6

A client locates a DHCP server using a reserve, link-scoped multicast address. For this reason, it is 
a requirement for direct communication between the client and the server that they be attached by 
the same link. However, in some situations in which ease of management, economy, and scalability 
is a concern, it is useful to allow a DHCP client to send a message to a DHCP server by using a 
DHCP relay agent. A DHCP relay agent, which may reside on the clients link, is used to relay 
messages between the client and the server. A DHCP relay agent is transparent to the client.

When the relay agent receives a message to be relayed from a client to another relay agent, it 
creates a new Relay-forward message, puts the original DHCP message to relay forward option, and 
includes its only address and the address it received is in the same option.
