Usage This command creates a pool of prefixes from which addresses are assigned to
clients on request, and allocates a network prefix from which the DHCPv6 Server
leases addresses. This command is an alternative to using a range set using the

description of preferred and valid lifetimes and how these
determine deprecated or invalid IPv6 addresses upon expiry.
