HP-UX IP Address and Client Management Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3

$ /sbin/dhcpv6config
• If you want the DHCPv6 client daemon to start automatically with the -d and -l arguments
upon each reboot, set the DHCPV6CLNTD_ARGS variable in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons file as follows:
DHCPV6CLNTD_ARGS=”-d -dns_sa
sip_sa -l”
For more information on the DHCPv6 client arguments, type man 1m dhcpv6clientd at the
HP-UX prompt.
NOTE: You need to complete these steps only once, when you install the DHCPv6 client.
The dhcpv6client_ui Interface
The /usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui user interface enables you to communicate with the client
daemon to obtain IP addresses and other configuration parameters from the server.
Figure 5-1 depicts how a client communicates with the DHCPv6 server via dhcpv6client_ui.
Figure 5-1 dhcpv6client_ui Interface
dhcpv6client_ui helps you do the following:
• Obtain only IP addresses from the server.
• Obtain multiple IP addresses for an interface.
• Obtain IP addresses with other configuration parameters.
• Release unused IP addresses obtained from the server.
To invoke dhcpv6client_ui, run the following command on the command line:
# /usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui
[-m interface_name] [-[t|T]] [-o config_options] [-I] [-s vendor_specific_options]
[-R] [-r interface_name [-v]
where,
-m
Specifies the interface for which you must obtain IPv6 addresses and other configuration
parameters.
-o
Specifies the list of configuration parameters.
-s
Specifies the list of vendor-specific options that the client daemon must request from the
server daemon. You must use this option in conjunction with the -m option.
-R Notifies the client to use the unused IP addresses stored in the /etc/dhcpv6client.data
file instead of requesting new IP addresses from the server.
-r
Specifies the interface that receives the released IP addresses.
-v
Prints the version information of the client daemon.
