Configuring the DHCPv6 client
Introduction to the DHCPv6 client
Serving as a DHCPv6 client, the firewall only supports stateless DHCPv6 configuration, that is, the
firewall can only obtain other network configuration parameters, except the IPv6 address and prefix from
the DHCPv6 server.
With an IPv6 address obtained through stateless address autoconfiguration, the firewall automatically
enables the stateless DHCPv6 function after it receives an RA message with the M flag set to 0 and the
O flag set to 1.
Configuration prerequisites
To make the DHCPv6 client obtain configuration parameters through stateless DHCPv6 configuration
successfully, make sure that the DHCPv6 server is available.
Configuration procedure
To configure the DHCPv6 client:
Step Command
1. Enter system view. system-view
2. Enable the IPv6 packet forwarding function. ipv6
3. Enter interface view. interface interface-type interface-number
4. Enable IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration. ipv6 address auto
NOTE:
•
For more information about the ipv6 address auto command, see "Configuring IPv6 basics."
• Do not enable the DHCPv6 client and DHCPv6 server, or the DHCPv6 client and DHCPv6 relay agent on
the same interface at the same time.
