NAME
dhcp6s - DHCPv6 server daemon SYNOPSIS
dhcp6s [ -vf ] [ -c <pathspec> ] [ -p <pathspec> ] <interface> DESCRIPTION
dhcp6s is an implementation of the DHCPv6 server. dhcp6s provides IPv6 addresses and prefix assginment administrative policy and configuration information for DHCPv6 clients. dhcp6s also manages those addresses and prefixes, such as IPv6 addresses, prefixes, DNS server addresses, or ntp server addresses. Interface names are specified according to your operating system's conventions. On Linux, this is typically eth0, eth1, and so on. OPTIONS
-c pathspec Specifies the dhcp6s configuration file. -p pathspec Specifies the dhcp6s PID file. -v Enables dhcp6s to print verbose debugging messages. -f Enables dhcp6s to work as a foreground application. This option is helpful for debugging. FILES
/etc/dhcp6s.conf Contains dhcp6s configurations, such as allow unicast, allow rapid-commit, specify valid-life-time, or specify preferred-life-time. /var/lib/dhcpv6/dhcp6s_duid Contains the dhcp6s server's DUID. /var/lib/dhcpv6/server6.leases Contains all dhcp6c clients' IPv6 address and prefix leasing information and states.
