Installing and Configuring DHCPv6 2

Overview

DHCPv6 2.001 Features

Chapter 18

INFORMATION-REQUEST A client sends an INFORMATION-REQUEST

message to a server to request

conﬁguration parameters without the

assignment of any IP addresses to the

client.

RELAY-FORW A relay agent uses this to forward client

messages to servers.

RELAY-REPL A server sends a RELAY-REPL message to

a relay agent containing a message that

the relay agent delivers to a client. The

RELAY-REPL message can be relayed by

other relay agents for delivery to the

destination relay agent.

The server encapsulates the client

message as an option in the RELAY-REPL

message, which the relay agent extracts

and relays to the client.
