DESCRIPTION
dhcpv6client_ui
is the interface through which a user contacts the client daemon,
dhcpv6clientd
, to obtain IPv6 addresses and other configuration parameters from the server. The
default configuration parameters are specified as command line options when the DHCPv6 client daemon
is invoked.
When
dhcpv6client_ui
requests for IPv6 addresses or other configuration parameters, the client dae-
mon obtains them from the server and stores in the
/etc/dhcpv6client.data
file.
dhcpv6client_ui is executed on the same machine on which the client daemon is configured. Ensure
that the client daemon is up and running before dhcpv6client_ui
is executed.
Options
dhcpv6client_ui supports the following options:
-m interface_name Request the client daemon to obtain IPv6 addresses for the named interface,
interface_name, from the DHCPv6 server daemon if the
-I option is not specified.
-o config_options Specify the other configuration parameters that the client daemon must request
from the server daemon.
This option must be used in conjunction with the
-m option.
The configuration parameters that the client can request are listed below:
dns_sa Obtain one or more DNS server addresses
dns_dl Obtain the DNS domain list
sip_sa Obtain one or more SIP server addresses
sip_dl Obtain the SIP domain list
nis_sa Obtain one or more NIS server addresses
nis_dl Obtain the NIS domain name
nisp_sa Obtain one or more NIS+ server addresses
nisp_dl Obtain the NIS+ domain name
all Obtain all the above listed parameters
default Obtain all the default parameters configured in the dhcpv6 client
daemon
-s vendor_specific_option_list
Specify the vendor-specific options that the client daemon must request from the
server daemon.
This option must be used in conjunction with the
-m option.
-r IPv6_Address_list Release the specified IPv6 addresses.
-t Get the temporary addresses from the dhcpv6 client daemon.
-v Print the version information of the client daemon.
-I Request only the other configuration parameters. Do not request IPv6 addresses.
-R Notify the client daemon to utilize the IPv6 addresses already obtained for an
interface instead of requesting new IPv6 addresses from the server.
