Configuration Guide Configuring DHCPv6
The DHCPv6 client includes the IA information of the conflicted addresses in the Decline message.
After receiving the Decline message, the DHCPv6 server marks the addresses in the Decline message as "declined"
and will not allocate these addresses . Then, the DHCPv6 server sends a Reply message carrying the state option to
the DHCPv6 client. You can manually clear addresses marked as "declined" to facilitate re-allocation.
