Configuring DHCPv6 Server and Relay Settings 1067
Figure 38-1. DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation Scenario
In Figure 38-1, the PowerConnect acts as the Prefix Delegation (PD) server
and defines one or more
general
prefixes to allocate and assign addresses to
hosts that may be utilizing IPv6 auto-address configuration or acting as
DHCPv6 clients.
DHCPv6 clients may request multiple IPv6 prefixes. Also, DHCPv6 clients
may request specific IPv6 prefixes. If the configured DHCPv6 pool contains
the specific prefix that a DHCPv6 client requests, then that prefix will be
delegated to the client. Otherwise, the first available IPv6 prefix within the
configured pool will be delegated to the client.
Default DHCPv6 Server and Relay Values
By default, the DHCPv6 server is disabled, and no address pools are
configured. VLAN routing interfaces are not configured to perform DHCPv6
server or DHCPv6 relay functions.
