Configuring DHCPv6 Server and Relay Settings 1095
Configuring DHCPv6 Interface Information
Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to 
configure an interface as a DHCPv6 server or a DHCPv6 relay agent. The 
server and relay functionality are mutually exclusive. In other words, a VLAN 
routing interface can be configured as a DHCPv6 server or a DHCPv6 relay 
agent, but not both.
Command Purpose
configure Enter Global Configuration mode.
interface {tunnel 
tunnel-id
 | vlan 
vlan-id
}
Enter interface configuration mode for a tunnel or VLAN 
routing interface to configure as a DHCPv6 relay agent.
ipv6 dhcp relay 
{destination 
relay-
address
 [interface vlan 
vlan-id
] | interface vlan 
vlan-id
} [remote-id 
{duid-ifid |
 user-
defined-string
}]
Configure the interface for DHCPv6 relay functionality.
•
destination
 — Keyword that sets the relay server IPv6 
address.
•
relay-address
 — An IPv6 address of a DHCPv6 relay 
server.
•
interface
 — Sets the relay server interface.
•
vlan-id
 — A valid VLAN ID.
• [remote-id {duid-ifid | 
user-defined-string
}] — The 
Relay Agent Information Option “remote ID” sub-option 
to be added to relayed messages. This can either be the 
special keyword duid-ifid, which causes the “remote ID” 
to be derived from the DHCPv6 server DUID and the 
relay interface number, or it can be specified as a user-
defined string. 
exit Exit to Global Configuration Mode
interface {tunnel 
tunnel-id
 | vlan 
vlan-id
}
Enter interface configuration mode for a tunnel or VLAN 
routing interface to configure with DHCPv6 server 
functionality.
