DHCP Relay for IPv6
ipv6 dhcp relay
destination
This command specifies the destination address or VLAN to which client messages
are forwarded for DHCP service. Use the no form to remove an entry.
Syntax
[no] ipv6 dhcp relay destination {ipv6-address | multicast {all | vlan vlan-id}}
ipv6-address - A full IPv6 address including the network prefix and host
address bits. This address may designate another relay server or a DHCPv6
server.
multicast - All DHCP server multicast address (FF:05::1:3).
all - All configured VLANs.
vlan-id - ID of configured VLAN. (Range: 1-4094)
Default Setting
None
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Usage Guidelines
◆ This command is used to configure DHCPv6 relay functions for host devices
attached to the switch. If DHCPv6 relay service is enabled, and this switch sees a
DHCPv6 request broadcast, it inserts its own IP address into the request so the
DHCPv6 server will know the subnet where the client is located. Then, the
switch forwards the packet to the next relay agent or DHCPv6 server on
another network. When the server receives the DHCPv6 request, it allocates a
free IP address for the DHCPv6 client from its defined scope for the DHCPv6
client’s subnet, and sends a DHCPv6 response back to the DHCPv6 relay agent
(i.e., this switch). This switch then broadcasts the DHCPv6 response received
from the server to the client.
◆ When the multicast option is used, the switch multicasts the modified client
request to all configured VLANs or to a specified VLAN, and enables DHCPv6
relay service for those VLANs.
◆ Up to five relay destinations may be configured by repeating this command.
