None

Configure DHCPv6 Server

After configuring the interface to work in the DHCPv6 server mode, the DHCPv6 server will distribute the IPv6 address and other network parameters to the client when the interface receives the DHCPv6 request packet from the DHCPv6 client.

Table 6-7 Configure the DHCPv6 server

Configure the Range of Reserved IPv6 Addresses

In a DHCPv6 address pool, some IPv6 addresses are reserved for some special devices, and some IPv6 addresses conflict with the IPv6 addresses of other hosts in the network. Therefore, the IPv6 addresses cannot be dynamically allocated.

Table 6-8 Configure the Range of Reserved IPv6 Addresses

Configure DHCPv6 Ping Detection Parameters

To prevent an IPv6 address conflict, before dynamically allocating an IPv6 address to a DHCPv6 client, a DHCPv6 server must detect the IPv6 address. The detection operation is performed through the ping operation. The DHCPv6 server determines whether an IPv6 address conflict exists by checking whether an ICMP echo response packet is received within the specified time.

Table 6-9 Configuring DHCPv6 Ping Detection Parameters

Configure the Data Log Function of the DHCPv6 Server

After enabling the data log function of the DHCPv6 server, the distribution of the address pool on the DHCPv6 server is recorded in the data log.
