DHCP FOR IPV6 (DHCPV6) COMMANDS
IPV
6 DHCP POOL
ipv6 dhcp pool
Overview Use this command in Global Configuration mode to enter the DHCPv6
Configuration mode for the DHCPv6 server pool name as specified in the required
command parameter. If the name specified is not associated with an existing pool,
the device will create a new pool with this name, then enter the configuration
mode for the new pool.
Once you have entered the DHCPv6 configuration mode, all commands executed
before the next exit command will apply to this pool.
You can create multiple DHCPv6 server pools on devices with multiple interfaces.
This allows the device to act as a DHCPv6 server on multiple interfaces to distribute
different information to clients on the different networks.
Use the no variant of this command to delete the specific DHCPv6 pool.
Syntax
ipv6 dhcp pool <DHCPv6-poolname>
no ipv6 dhcp pool <DHCPv6-poolname>
Mode Global Configuration
Usage All DHCPv6 prefix pool names must be unique. IPv6 prefix pools have a similar
function to IPv4 address pools. Contrary to IPv4, a block of IPv6 addresses (an IPv6
address prefix) are assigned and not single IPv6 addresses. IPv6 prefix pools are not
allowed to overlap.
Once a pool is configured, it cannot be changed. To change the configuration, you
must remove then recreate a IPv6 prefix pool. All IPv6 prefixes already allocated are
also freed.
Examples To create the DHCPv6 pool named P2 and enter DHCPv6 configuration mode, use
the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool P2
awplus(config-dhcp6)#
To delete the DHCPv6 pool named P2, use the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no ipv6 dhcp pool P2
Parameter Description
<DHCPv6-poolname> Description used to identify this DHCPv6 server pool. Valid
characters are any printable character. If the name contains
spaces then you must enclose it in “quotation marks”.
