75.1.3 Acquiring IPv6 Address from DHCPv6 Server
75.1.3.1 ipv6 address dhcp
This command provides support for configuring the device as a DHCPv6 client to obtain an
IPv6 address from a DHCPv6 server, according to RFC 3315. The device as a DHCPv6 client
also supports the Rapid Commit option. This option lets the device quickly obtain
configuration parameters from the DHCP server through a rapid two-message exchange
(solicit, reply), instead of the usual four-message exchange (solicit, advertise, request, reply).
Use no ipv6 address to disable this command.
Syntax
# ipv6 address dhcp [rapid-commit]
# no ipv6 address
Note
This command is applicable only to data-router functionality.
The installed Software License Key must contain the IPv6 Feature Key.
Rapid Commit must be supported and enabled on the DHCP server as well.
The received IPv6 address can be viewed using the show data interfaces
<interface> command.
Command Mode
Privileged User
