Any DHCP server which receives the request, will reply the client with an ADVERTISE
message, which includes the identity of the server
–DUID, and its priority.
It is possible that the client receives multiple ADVERTISE messages. The client should select
one and reply it with a REQUEST message to request the address which is advertised in the
ADVERTISE message.
The selected DHCPv6 server then confirms the client about the IPv6 address and any other
configuration with the REPLY message.
The above four steps finish a Dynamic host configuration assignment process. However, if the
DHCPv6 server and the DHCPv6 client are not in the same network, the server will not receive
the DHCPv6 broadcast packets sent by the client, therefore no DHCPv6 packets will be sent to
the client by the server. In this case, a DHCPv6 relay is required to forward such DHCPv6
packets so that the DHCPv6 packets exchange can be completed between the DHCPv6 client
and server.
At the time this manual is written, DHCPv6 server, relay and prefix delegation client have been
implemented on the switch. When the DHCPv6 relay receives any messages from the
DHCPv6 client, it will encapsulate the request in a Relay-forward packet and deliver it to the
next DHCPv6 relay or the DHCPv6 server. The DHCPv6 messages coming from the server
will be encapsulated as relay reply packets to the DHCPv6 relay. The relay then removes the
encapsulation and delivers it the DHCPv6 client or the next DHCPv6 relay in the network.
For DHCPv6 prefix delegation where DHCPv6 server is configured on the PE router and
DHCPv6 client it configured on the CPE router, the CPE router is able to send address prefix
allocation request to the PE router and get a pre-configured address prefix, but not set the
address prefix manually. The protocol negotiation between the client and the prefix delegation
client is quite similar to that when getting a DHCPv6 address. Then the CPE router divides the
allocated prefix
– whose length should be less than 64 characters, into 64 subnets. The
divided address prefix will be advertised through routing advertisement messages (RA) to the
host directly connected to the client.
