8.6.1.5 DHCPv6 Options
DHCPv6 can be used in two ways. The first way of using DHCPv6 is to grant clients
addresses from a pool while also using DHCPv6 to push configuration options. This is called
stateful configuration. The other option is to use DHCPv6 combined with SLAAC for
addressing, while using DHCPv6 for configuration options. This is called stateless
configuration. DHCP for IPv6 for stateless configuration allows a DHCP for IPv6 client to
export configuration parameters (that is, DHCP for IPv6 options) to a local DHCP for IPv6
server pool. The local DHCP for IPv6 server can then provide the imported configuration
parameters to other DHCP for IPv6 clients. To configure the NIS server DHCPv6 option, use
the following command.
Sets a domain name of a NIS server.
DOMAIN: a domain name of the NIS server for client to
use
Specifies the NIS server address to be sent to the
client.
X:X::X:X: NIS server IPv6 address
Removes the NIS domain name.
Removes the NIS server address.
To configure the NIS+ server DHCPv6 option, use the following command.
Sets a domain name of a NIS+ server.
DOMAIN: a domain name of the NIS+ server for client
to use
Specifies the NIS+ server address to be sent to the
client.
Removes the NIS+ domain name.
Removes the NIS+ server address.
To configure the SIP server DHCPv6 option, use the following command.
Sets a domain name of a SIP server.
DOMAIN: a domain name of the SIP server for client
to use
Specifies the SIP server address to be sent to the
client.
Removes the SIP domain name.
Removes the SIP server address.
