The <length> field denotes the length of the data field following it.
All these lines collectively indicate one record. The configuration file will have a series of record. See the
EXAMPLE section below for a sample configuration file.
Since this file contains all the configuration information, it can be used to identify the server from which
the configuration parameters were obtained.
When
dhcpv6clientd
is invoked, it will first try to read the configuration file,
/etc/dhcpv6client.data
. However, the configuration file
1. may have been deleted or is not available for reading;
2. may be corrupted or contain irrelevant data for a particular interface;
3. may not contain the configuration information for a particular interface.
In those cases,
dhcpv6clientd
needs to obtain a new set of addresses from the server. Thus the client
will form a SOLICIT message and send it to the pre-determined ALL DHCP Agents address. In response
to this, the client will receive the ADVERTISE message from DHCP servers. The client will select a
DHCP server based on the DHCP server preference value.
EXAMPLES
dhcpv6clientd treats the NIS server and DNS server addresses as default configuration parameters.
dhcpv6clientd -d nis_sa dns_sa
The following is an example of a /etc/dhcpv6client.data
