NAME
dhcpv6clientd - DHCPv6 client daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dhcpv6clientd
[-d
config_options ][-e number][-l][-u
list_of_user_classes]
[
-v list_of_vendor_classes]
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 default list of parameters that the client daemon must request from the server
daemon. If this option is not specified, the client daemon will request all the configuration
parameters mentioned below. The list of configuration parameters that the client can
request are listed below:
dns_sa Obtain a list of one or more IPv6 addresses of DNS recursive name servers to
which a client’s DNS resolver may send DNS queries.
dns_dl Obtain the domain search list that the client must use while resolving host-
names using DNS.
sip_sa Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses that indicate SIP outbound proxy servers
available to the client.
sip_dl Obtain the domain names of the SIP outbound proxy servers that the client
can use.
nis_sa Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS servers available to the
client.
nis_dl Obtain the NIS domain name of the client.
nisp_sa Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS+ servers available to the
client.
nisp_dl Obtain the NIS+ domain name of the client.
-e number Specifies the vendor’s registered enterprise number as registered with IANA. This number
can be used in the vendor-class and vendor-specific options while communicating with the
server.
-l Enables dhcpv6clientd to log all messages to the
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
file, including information and warning messages.
-u list_of_user_classes
Specify the User-Class data used to represent the client in its communication with the
server. This option can have a maximum length of 16 characters. Multiple -u options can
be used to specify multiple values for the User-Class data. Depending on the classes
identified by this option, the server selects configuration information for the client. The
User-Class option is used to identify the type or category of the client.
-v list_of_vendor_classes
Specify the vendor-class data to be used in the client’s communication with a server. The
vendor-class data contains a series of distinct items, each of which describes the charac-
teristics of the client’s hardware configuration.
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
