9.7.1.8 DHCPv6 Options
DHCPv6 can be used in two ways. The first way of using DHCPv6 is to grant clients address-
es 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.
