DHCP6S(8) BSD System Manager's Manual DHCP6S(8) NAME
dhcp6s -- DHCPv6 server SYNOPSIS
dhcp6s [-c configfile] [-Ddf] [-k ctlkeyfile] [-p ctlport] [-P pid-file] interface DESCRIPTION
dhcp6s replies to DHCPv6 client as DHCPv6 server. dhcp6s can give the following information to clients. o IPv6 prefixes for the requesting site o Non-temporary IPv6 addresses o A list of the DNS server addresses o DNS Domain Search List o A list of the NTP server addresses o A list of the SIP server addresses o SIP Server domain name o A list of the NIS server addresses o NIS domain name o A list of the NIS+ server addresses o NIS+ domain name o A list of the BCMCS server addresses o BCMCS Server domain name Command line options are as below: -c configfile Use configfile as the configuration file. -d Print debugging messages. -D Even more debugging information is printed. -f Foreground mode (useful when debugging). Although dhcp6s usually prints warning, debugging, or error messages to syslog(8), it prints the messages to standard error if this option is specified. -k ctlkeyfile Use ctlkeyfile to store the shared secret to authenticate the communication with dhcp6ctl. The default file name used when unspeci- fied is /etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6sctlkey. The default name is intentionally same as that for dhcp6ctl so that the server and the con- trol command can share the file when dhcp6ctl controls the server on the same node, which should be the typical case. -p ctlport Use ctlport as the port number listening on to communicate with dhcp6ctl. -P pid-file Use pid-file to dump the process ID of dhcp6s. FILES
/etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6s.conf is the default configuration file. /var/lib/dhcpv6/dhcp6s_duid is the default file to store the server's DUID. /etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6sctlkey is the default key file to communicate with the control command. See dhcp6ctl(8) for the file format. /var/run/dhcp6s.pid is the default file that contains pid of the currently running dhcp6s. SEE ALSO

The dhcp6s command first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit. The -n dnsserv command-line option was obsoleted by introducing a configuration file. BUGS
dhcp6s is incomplete and violates DHCPv6 protocol spec, in several aspects. To name a few: 1. it does not assign temporary IPv6 addresses (nor will). KAME
