NAME

       dibbler-server - a portable DHCPv6 server

DESCRIPTION

       dibbler-server  is  a  portable	implementation	of the DHCPv6 server. It supports both stateful (i.e. IPv6 address granting) and stateless
       (i.e. options granting) autoconfiguration. There are ports available for Linux 2.4/2.6 systems as well as MS Windows XP and 2003. They  are
       freely available under GNU GPL version 2 (or later) license.

SYNOPSIS

       dibbler-server [ run | start | stop | status | install | uninstall ]

OPTIONS

       run - starts server in the console. Server can be closed using ctrl-c.

       start - starts server in daemon mode.

       stop - stops running server.

       status - shows status of the server.

       install - installs server as a service. This is not implemented yet.

       uninstall - uninstall server service. This is not implemented yet.

EXAMPLES

       Let's  assume  simple  case: server should provide clients located on the eth1 link with IPv6 addresses from range 2000::100/120 and should
       have preference set to 7:

       iface eth0
       {
	 preference 7
	 class
	 {
	   pool 2000::100-2000::1ff
	 }
       }

       Here is exmaple of server configured to work in a stateless mode (i.e. only options, not addresses are served). If  client  support  option
       renewal, it should do so once in a 500 seconds:

       log-level 7
       log-mode short
       stateless
       iface eth0 {
	 option dns-server 2000::100,2000::101
	 option domain example.com, test1.example.com
	 option ntp-server 2000::200,2000::201,2000::202
	 option time-zone  CET
	 option sip-server 2000::300,2000::302,2000::303,2000::304
	 option sip-domain sip1.example.com,sip2.example.com
	 option nis-server 2000::400,2000::401,2000::404,2000::405,2000::405
	 option nis-domain nis.example.com
	 option nis+-server 2000::501,2000::502
	 option nis+-domain nisplus.example.com
	 option lifetime 500
       }

       More examples can be found in the User's Guide.

FILES

       All  files are created in the /var/lib/dibbler directory. Dibbler server reads /var/lib/dibbler/server.conf file. During operation, Dibbler
       saves various file in that directory.  Log file is named client.log.

STANDARDS

       This implementation aims at conformance to the following standards:

       RFC 3315 DHCP for IPv6

       RFC 3319 SIP options for DHCPv6

       RFC 3646 DNS server options for DHCPv6

       RFC 3736 Stateless DHCPv6

       RFC 3898 NIS options for DHCPv6

       Also options specified in following drafts are implemented:

       draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-timeconfig-03.txt NTP and timezone options.

       draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-lifetime-00.txt Option renewal.

AUTHOR

       Dibbler was developed as master thesis on the Technical University of Gdansk by Tomasz Mrugalski and Marek Senderski. Currently	Marek  has
       not enough free time, so this project is being developed by Tomasz Mrugalski. Authors can be reached at thomson@klub.com.pl and msend@o2.pl

SEE ALSO

       There  is  dibbler-client(8) manual page. You are also advised to take a look at project website located at http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/.	As
       far as authors know, this is the only Windows DHCPv6 stateful implementation available. It is also one of two freely available under Linux.
       The other Linux implementation is available at http://dhcpv6.sourceforge.net, but it is rather outdated and seems not being actively devel-
       oped.
