dhcpv6clientd(1M) dhcpv6clientd(1M) NAME
dhcpv6clientd - DHCPv6 client daemon SYNOPSIS
config_options] number] list_of_user_classes] list_of_vendor_classes] DESCRIPTION
obtains the configuration parameters from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) server to configure the host. See dhcpv6d(1M). Options supports the following options: Specify the default list of parameters that the client daemon must request from the server daemon. If this option is not specified, the client daemon will request all the configuration parameters mentioned below. The list of configuration parameters that the client can request are listed below: Obtain a list of one or more IPv6 addresses of DNS recursive name servers to which a client's DNS resolver may send DNS queries. Obtain the domain search list that the client must use while resolving hostnames using DNS. Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses that indicate SIP outbound proxy servers available to the client. Obtain the domain names of the SIP outbound proxy servers that the client can use. Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS servers available to the client. Obtain the NIS domain name of the client. Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS+ servers available to the client. Obtain the NIS+ domain name of the client. Specifies the vendor's registered enterprise number as registered with IANA. This number can be used in the vendor-class and vendor-specific options while communicating with the server. Enables to log all messages to the file, including information and warning messages. Specify the User-Class data used to represent the client in its communication with the server. This option can have a maximum length of 16 characters. Multiple options can be used to specify mul- tiple values for the User-Class data. Depending on the classes identified by this option, the server selects configuration informa- tion for the client. The User-Class option is used to identify the type or category of the client. Specify the vendor-class data to be used in the client's communication with a server. The vendor-class data contains a series of distinct items, each of which describes the characteristics of the client's hardware configuration. Configuration The file is used for the configuration of the interfaces. To invoke using the script, set the variable to a non-zero value in the file. The script invokes and during bootup to obtain IP addresses. can also be invoked at the command prompt. Once has obtained the configuration parameters from the server, it stores them in a configuration file named The configuration parameters are valid for a fixed time, the lease time. The automatically tries to renew the configuration parameters before the expiration of the lease time. If the server responds, the lease times of the configuration parameters are automatically extended. AUTHOR
