◆
This command starts the DHCPv6 client process if it is not yet running
by submitting requests for address prefix delegation through the
specified interface(s).
◆
When the DHCP client process is enabled and a prefix is successfully
acquired, the prefix is stored in the IPv6 general prefix pool. Other
commands and applications (such as the ipv6 address command) can
then refer to the prefixes in the general prefix pool.
◆
DHCPv6 clients can also request configuration parameters that do not
require a server to maintain any dynamic state for individual clients,
such as DNS server addresses.
◆
DHCPv6 clients builds a list of servers by sending a solicit message and
collecting advertised message replies. These servers are then ranked
based on their advertised preference value. If the client needs to
acquire prefixes from servers, only servers that have advertised
prefixes are considered.

DHCPv6 clients and servers are identified by a DHCP Unique Identifier
(DUID) included in the client identifier and server identifier options. Static
or dynamic address prefixes may be assigned by a DHCPv6 server based
on the client’s DUID.
