NOTE: The dhcpv6tab file discards the DHCP_POOL_GROUP section because it starts with a
pound sign (#).
Configuring the Client
This section describes how to configure the DHCPv6 client.
It discusses the following topics:
• “The dhcpv6client.data File” (page 134)
• “The dhcpv6clientd Client Daemon” (page 135)
• “Setting Up the DHCPv6 Client” (page 135)
• “The dhcpv6client_ui Interface” (page 136)
• “The dhcpv6config Script” (page 137)
• “The dhcpv6db2conf Utility” (page 138)
The dhcpv6client.data File
The client database file /etc/dhcpv6client.data contains a series of records to represent
various configuration parameters, such as DNS server address, DHCPv6 server address, DNS
domain name list, and others. Each record is of the following format:
<opcode> <length> <data>
where
<opcode> is the option code for the parameter or identifier, followed by a space.
<length> is the length of the information, followed by a space.
<data> is the data representing the information denoted by the option code, followed by a
newline character.
The DHCPv6 client uses dhcpv6client.data to build its internal database and to maintain
the leases. This file contains information about the IP address leases and other configuration
parameters.
