IPv6 prefix acquisition configuration example 
Network requirements 
As shown in Figure 111, configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of the router to use DHCPv6 to obtain 
configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The parameters include IPv6 prefix, DNS server 
address, domain name suffix, SIP server address, and SIP server domain name.

Configuration procedure 
You must configure the DHCPv6 server before configuring the DHCPv6 client. For information about 
configuring the DHCPv6 server, see "Configuring the DHCPv6 server."
 
# Configure an IPv6 address for GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 that connects to the DHCPv6 server. 
<Router> system-view 
[Router] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 
[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ipv6 address 1::2/48 
# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to support DHCPv6 rapid prefix assignment. Enable the DHCPv6 
client to assign an ID to the obtained IPv6 prefix and create a dynamic DHCPv6 option group for 
saving configuration parameters. 
[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ipv6 dhcp client pd 1 rapid-commit option-group 1 
[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit 
Verifying the configuration 
# Verify that the DHCPv6 client has obtained an IPv6 prefix and other configuration parameters from 
the DHCPv6 server.
