Installing and Configuring DHCPv6 2

Installation and Migration

Migrating from DHCPv6 1.001 to DHCPv6 2.001

Chapter 226

Following are the modiﬁed sections in DHCPv6 2.001 after moving the

relevant tags from the DHCP_POOL_GROUPS section to the

DHCP_ADDRESS_POOL section in the /etc/dhcpv6tab ﬁle:

DHCP_POOL_GROUP;\

pool-group-name = YELLOW;\

address-pool-names = APPLE;

DHCP_ADDRESS_POOL;\

address-pool-name = APPLE;\

subnet-prefix = 5ffe:1234::34/64;\

address-pool = 5ffe:1234::4321:1000 -

5ffe:1234::4321:19999;\

reserved-addresses = 5ffe:1234::4321:12222;

The pool group YELLOW uses the address pool group conﬁguration deﬁned

in APPLE. If you add another DHCP_ADDRESS_POOL section, MANGO,

following is the DHCP_POOL_GROUP section:

DHCP_POOL_GROUP;\

pool-group-name = YELLOW;\

address-pool-names = APPLE MANGO;

Similarly, you can add multiple DHCP_ADDRESS_POOL names separated by

a space in the DHCP_POOL_GROUP section.

Step 3. Start the DHCPv6 2.001 daemon by executing the following command at

the HP-UX prompt:

# /sbin/init.d/dhcpv6.server start

Migrating a DHCPv6 1.001 Relay Agent

If you have conﬁgured your DHCPv6 2.001 server as a relay agent, in

addition to changes speciﬁed in “Migrating a DHCPv6 1.001 Server” on

page 25, you must start the dhcpv6d daemon with the -R option after

migrating to DHCPv6 2.001.
