NAME
dhcpv6client_ui - DHCPv6 client interface for requesting configuration parameters from the DHCPv6
server.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -m
interface_name [
-n no_of_ip_addresses][
-o config_options ]
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -o
config_options
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -m
interface_name [-R
]
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -r
interface_name
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -v
DESCRIPTION
dhcpv6client_ui
is the interface through which a user contacts the client daemon to obtain IP
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 IP 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 IP addresses for the named interface,
interface_name, from the DHCPv6 server daemon.
-n no_of_ip_addresses
Specify the number of IP addresses for an interface.
This option is always used with the
-m option.
This option cannot be used with the
-R option.
-o config_options Specify the other configuration parameters that the client daemon must request
from the server daemon. The configuration parameters that the client can request
are listed below:
dns_sa Obtain the DNS server address
dns_sx Obtain the DNS suffix
ntp_sa Obtain the NTP server address
nis_dn Obtain the NIS domain name
nis_sa Obtain the NIS server address
nispcl_dn Obtain the NIS+ client domain address
nisp_sa Obtain the NIS+ server address
slp_da Obtain the SLP Directory Agent (DA) address and it’s scope
slp_ss Obtain the SLP service scope
tz Obtain the timezone information
all Obtain all the above listed parameters
default Obtain all the parameters that the dhcpv6 client daemon supports
-r interface_name Release the IPv6 addresses assigned to the named interface, interface_name.
-v Print the version information of the client daemon.
-R Notify the client daemon to utilize the IP addresses already obtained for an inter-
face instead of requesting new IP addresses from the server.
This option must be used in conjunction with the
-m option.
