Configuring the DHCPv6 server Overview A DHCPv6 server can assign IPv6 addresses or IPv6 prefixes to DHCPv6 clients. IPv6 address assignment As shown in Figure 62, the DHCPv6 server assigns IPv6 addresses, domain name suffixes, DNS server addresses, and other configuration parameters to DHCPv6 clients. The IPv6 addresses assigned to the clients fall into the following types: • Temporary IPv6 addresses-Internally used and frequently changed without lease renewal. • Non-temporary IPv6 addresses-Normally used by DHCP clients. Figure 62 IPv6 address assignment IPv6 prefix assignment As shown in Figure 63, the DHCPv6 server assigns an IPv6 prefix to the DHCPv6 client. The client advertises the prefix information in an RA message so that hosts on the subnet can automatically configure their IPv6 addresses by using the prefix. 144

Configuring the DHCPv6 server
Overview
A DHCPv6 server can assign IPv6 addresses or IPv6 prefixes to DHCPv6 clients.
IPv6 address assignment
As shown in
Figure 62
, the DHCPv6 server assigns IPv6 addresses, domain name suffixes, DNS server
addresses, and other configuration parameters to DHCPv6 clients.
The IPv6 addresses assigned to the clients fall into the following types:
Temporary IPv6 addresses
—Internally used and frequently changed without lease renewal.
Non-temporary IPv6 addresses
—Normally used by DHCP clients.

IPv6 address assignment
IPv6 prefix assignment
As shown in
Figure 63
, the DHCPv6 server assigns an IPv6 prefix to the DHCPv6 client. The client
advertises the prefix information in an RA message so that hosts on the subnet can automatically
configure their IPv6 addresses by using the prefix.
