Installing and Configuring DHCPv6 2

Configuring DHCPv6 2.001
Configuring the Server
Chapter 332
-k Kills the server gracefully.
- h max_hop_count Specifies the maximum number of hops allowed for
a DHCPv6 packet after which the server drops the
DHCPv6 packet.
-r Rereads the configuration file and triggers the
server to send a reconfig-init message to the
clients when the configuration file has any new or
updated information.
-u Enables the unicast option.
-C Enables the rapid commit option.
-R Runs the DHCPv6 server as a relay agent.
dhcpv6d updates the server database files located in the /etc/dhcpv6db
directory. The DHCPv6 2.001 server uses these files to build its internal
database and to maintain the leases.
For more information, type man 1m dhcpv6d at the HP-UX prompt.
NOTE You can use the -k and -r options only if a DHCPv6 2.001 server is
already running on the system.
Server Configuration File
You can use the /etc/dhcpv6tab file to configure the DHCPv6 2.001
server. dhcpv6d reads the dhcpv6tab file to build its internal database
file.
The /etc/dhcpv6tab file contains the following sections:
• DHCPv6 2.001 client default settings
(DHCP_CLIENT_DEFAULT_SETTINGS)
This section specifies the tags for the DHCPv6 2.001 client default
settings. These tags are applicable to all the addresses that the
server assigns to the DHCPv6 2.001 client.
• DHCPv6 2.001 pool group settings (DHCP_POOL_GROUP)
This section specifies the tags for an individual DHCPv6 2.001 pool
groups.
