Overview
Use this command in Interface Configuration mode to enable the DHCPv6 client
process and enable requests for prefix delegation through the interface that you
are configuring.
Use the
no
variant of this command to disable requests for prefix delegation. This
is the default setting.
For further information about DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation, which is used to
automate the process of assigning prefixes, see the
DHCPv6 Feature Overview and
Configuration Guide
.
Syntax
ipv6 dhcp client pd <
prefix-name
>
no ipv6 dhcp client pd
Mode
Interface Configuration
Default
Prefix delegation is disabled by default on an interface.
Usage
Entering the
ipv6
dhcp
client
pd
command starts the DHCPv6 client process if
not already running, and enables requests for prefix delegation through the
interface on which the command is configured.
When prefix delegation is enabled and a prefix is acquired, the prefix is stored in
the IPv6 prefix pool with an internal name defined by the required <
prefix-name
>
placeholder parameter. The
ipv6 address
command can then refer to the prefixes
stored in the IPv6 prefix pool.
Examples
To enable prefix delegation with the prefix name prefix-name on the VLAN
interface vlan2, use the following commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
interface vlan2
awplus(config-if)#
ipv6 enable
awplus(config-if)#
ipv6 dhcp client pd my-prefix-name
To disable prefix delegation on the VLAN interface vlan2, use the following
commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
interface vlan2
awplus(config-if)#
no ipv6 dhcp client pd
Parameter
Description
<
prefix-name
>
Specify an IPv6 general prefix name. Valid characters are any
printable character. If the name contains spaces then you
must enclose it in “quotation marks”.
