Syntax
config ipif system dhcpv6_client enable|disable
Parameters
enable
Enables the IPv6 DHCP client.
disable
Disables the IPv6 DHCP client. This is the default setting.
Mode
Global Configuration mode
Description
Use this command to enable or disable the IPv6 DHCP client on the
switch. You can use the client to assign the switch an IPv6 management
address from an IPv6 DHCP server on your network. The switch
automatically queries the network for a IPv6 DHCP server when you
enable the client or whenever you reset or power cycle the switch.
The switch can have only one IPv6 management address.
To manually assign the switch an IPv6 address, refer to “CONFIG IPIF
SYSTEM IPV6” on page 42.
You must enable IPv6 address processing on the switch before activating
the IPv6 DHCP client. For instructions, refer to “IPV6 ENABLE” on
page 46.
The switch reverts to its default of no IPv6 address if it does not receive a
response from the DHCP server after one minute.
Confirmation Command
“SHOW IPIF” on page 37
