9.5.1 Defining DHCPv6 Options
Setting the DHCPv6 Server Policy
DHCPv6 services are available for specific IP interfaces. A pool (or range) of IPv6 network addresses and DHCPv6 options can
be created for each IPv6 interface defined. This range of addresses can be made available to DHCPv6 enabled devices on either
a permanent or leased basis. DHCPv6 options are provided to each client with a DHCPv6 response and provide DHCPv6 clients
information required to access network resources (default gateway, domain name, DNS server and WINS server configuration).
An option exists to identify the vendor and functionality of a DHCPv6 client. The information is a variable-length string of
characters (or octets) with a meaning specified by the vendor of the DHCPv6 client.
To set DHCPv6 options:
1. Select Configuration.
2. Select Services.
3. Select DHCPv6 Server Policy.
Select Add to create a new policy or Edit to modify the policy’s properties of a selected DHCPv6 server policy.
Select + Add Row to populate the screen with editable rows for DHCPv6 option configuration.

However, obsolete policies can be deleted, copied (archived) or renamed as needed.

A green checkmark within this column means this policy has been set to restrict vendor DHCP
options. A red "X" defines the policy as accepting all DHCP vendor options. Vendor specific
DHCPv6 options are only applicable to the vendor class defined.

value is 0.
