DHCP iSCSI Boot Configuration for IPv6
The DHCPv6 server can provide a number of options, including stateless or stateful IP configuration, as well s information
to the DHCPv6 client. For iSCSI boot, Broadcom adapters support the following DHCP configurations:
•
DHCPv6 Option 16, Vendor Class Option
•
DHCPv6 Option 17, Vendor-Specific Information
NOTE:
The DHCPv6 standard Root Path option is not yet available. Broadcom suggests using Option 16 or Option
17 for dynamic iSCSI Boot IPv6 support.
DHCPv6 Option 16, Vendor Class Option
DHCPv6 Option 16 (vendor class option) must be present and must contain a string that matches your configured
DHCP
Vendor ID
parameter. The
DHCP Vendor ID
value is BRCM ISAN, as shown in
General Parameters
of the iSCSI Boot
Configuration menu.
The content of Option 16 should be <2-byte length> <DHCP Vendor ID>.
DHCPv6 Option 17, Vendor-Specific Information
DHCPv6 Option 17 (vendor-specific information) provides more configuration options to the iSCSI client. In this
configuration, three additional suboptions are provided that assign the initiator IQN to the iSCSI boot client along with two
iSCSI target IQNs that can be used for booting.
The suboptions are listed below.
NOTE:
In
, the brackets [ ] are required for the IPv6 addresses.
The content of option 17 should be <2-byte Option Number 201|202|203> <2-byte length> <data>.
