Enable DHCPv6
Server or RADVD
The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is an open-source software product
that implements link-local advertisements of IPv6 router addresses and IPv6
routing prefixes using the Neighbour Discovery Protocol (NDP) as specified in
RFC 2461. The Router Advertisement Daemon is used by system administrators
in stateless auto-configuration methods of network hosts on Internet Protocol
version 6 networks.
When IPv6 hosts configure their network interfaces, they broadcast router
solicitation (RS) requests onto the network to discover available routers. The
radvd software answers requests with router advertisement (RA) messages. In
addition, radvd periodically broadcasts RA packets to the attached link to
update network hosts. The router advertisement messages contain the routing
prefix used on the link, the link maximum transmission unit (MTU), and the
address of the responsible default router.
Stateless
(for DHCPv6 Server)
IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to a routed
IPv6 network using Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6)
router discovery messages.
This type of configuration is suitable for small organizations and individuals. It
allows each host to determine its address from the contents of received user
advertisements. It makes use of the IEEE EUI-64 standard to define the network
ID portion of the address.
Stateful
(for DHCPv6 Server)
This configuration requires some human intervention as it makes use of the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) for installation and
administration of nodes over a network.
The DHCPv6 server maintains a list of nodes and the information about their
state to know the availability of each IP address from the range specified by the
network administrator.
Enable MLD Snooping
Select whether to enable or disable MLD Snooping on the router. The Multicast
Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping function constrains the flooding of IPv6
multicast traffic on LANs on the router.
Enable Relay
When enabled, relays DHCP messages between DHCPv6 clients and DHCPv6
servers on different IPv6 networks.
