NAME
dhcpv6clientd - DHCPv6 client daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dhcpv6clientd
[-d
config_options][-l]
DESCRIPTION
dhcpv6clientd
obtains the configuration parameters from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCPv6) server to configure the host. See dhcpv6d(1M).
Options
dhcpv6clientd
supports the following options:
-d config_options
Specify the list of parameters that the client daemon must request from the server daemon. The list of
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
-l Enable the logging of all messages by dhcpv6clientd
to the
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
file, including the information and warning types.
Configuration
The
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6
file is used for the configuration of the interfaces. To invoke
dhcpv6clientd using the dhcpv6config script, set the
DHCPV6_ENABLE [index] variable to a
non-zero value in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6
file. The dhcpv6config script invokes
dhcpv6clientd and dhcpv6client_ui
during bootup to obtain IP addresses. dhcpv6clientd
can also be invoked at the command prompt.
Once dhcpv6clientd has obtained the configuration parameters from the server, it stores them in a
configuration file named
/etc/dhcpv6client.data
. The configuration parameters are valid for a
fixed time, the lease time.
The format of the configuration information in
/etc/dhcpv6client.data
file is shown below:

05 <length> T1
06 <length> T2
07 <length> Group Multicast Address
