NAME

       dhcpv6client_ui - DHCPv6 client interface for requesting configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server

SYNOPSIS

       interface_name

       interface_name config_options]
	      vendor_specific_options]

       list_of_addresses

DESCRIPTION

       is  the	interface  through  which  a user contacts the client daemon, to obtain IPv6 addresses and other configuration parameters from the
       server.	The default configuration parameters are specified as command line options when the DHCPv6 client daemon is invoked.

       When requests for IPv6 addresses or other configuration parameters, the client daemon obtains them from the server and stores in the file.

       is executed on the same machine on which the client daemon is configured.  Ensure that the client daemon is up and running before  is  exe-
       cuted.

   Options
       supports the following options:

       Request the client daemon to obtain IPv6 addresses
			     for the named interface, interface_name, from the DHCPv6 server daemon if the option is not specified.

       Specify the other configuration parameters that
			     the client daemon must request from the server daemon.

			     This option must be used in conjunction with the option.

			     The configuration parameters that the client can request are listed below:
			     Obtain one or more DNS server addresses

			     Obtain the DNS domain list

			     Obtain one or more SIP server addresses

			     Obtain the SIP domain list

			     Obtain one or more NIS server addresses

			     Obtain the NIS domain name

			     Obtain one or more NIS+ server addresses

			     Obtain the NIS+ domain name

			     Obtain all the above listed parameters

			     Obtain all the default parameters configured in the dhcpv6 client daemon

       Specify the vendor-specific options that
			     the client daemon must request from the server daemon.

			     This option must be used in conjunction with the option.

       Release the specified IPv6 addresses.

       Get the temporary addresses from the dhcpv6 client daemon.

       Print the version information of the client daemon.

       Request only the other configuration parameters. Do not
			     request IPv6 addresses.

       Notify the client daemon to utilize the IPv6 addresses
			     already obtained for an interface instead of requesting new IPv6 addresses from the server.

			     This option must be used in conjunction with the option.

       Get both temporary and non-temporary addresses from the client daemon.

       When there is no or option specified obtains only non-temporary addresses.

RETURN VALUES

       returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

EXAMPLES

       obtains IPv6 address for the interface:

       obtains IPv6 address for the interface and additional configuration parameters:

       obtains only the DNS parameters for the interface:
