parameters from the DHCPv6 server
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
is the interface through which a user contacts the client daemon, to
obtain IPv6 addresses and other configuration parameters from the
server. The default configuration parameters are specified as command
line options when the DHCPv6 client daemon is invoked.
When requests for IPv6 addresses or other configuration parameters, the
client daemon obtains them from the server and stores in the file.
is executed on the same machine on which the client daemon is config‐
ured. Ensure that the client daemon is up and running before is exe‐
cuted.
Options
supports the following options:
Request the client daemon to obtain IPv6 addresses
for the named interface, interface_name, from the
DHCPv6 server daemon if the option is not speci‐
fied.
Specify the other configuration parameters that
the client daemon must request from the server
daemon.
This option must be used in conjunction with the
option.
The configuration parameters that the client can
request are listed below:
Obtain one or more DNS server addresses
Obtain the DNS domain list
Obtain one or more SIP server addresses
Obtain the SIP domain list
Obtain one or more NIS server addresses
Obtain the NIS domain name
Obtain one or more NIS+ server addresses
Obtain the NIS+ domain name
Obtain all the above listed parameters
Obtain all the default parameters configured in
the dhcpv6 client daemon
Specify the vendor-specific options that
the client daemon must request from the server
daemon.
This option must be used in conjunction with the
option.
Release the specified IPv6 addresses.
Get the temporary addresses from the dhcpv6 client daemon.
Print the version information of the client daemon.
Request only the other configuration parameters. Do not
request IPv6 addresses.
Notify the client daemon to utilize the IPv6 addresses
already obtained for an interface instead of
requesting new IPv6 addresses from the server.
This option must be used in conjunction with the
option.
Get both temporary and non-temporary addresses from the client daemon.
When there is no or option specified obtains only non-temporary
addresses.
RETURN VALUES
returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
EXAMPLES
obtains IPv6 address for the interface:
obtains IPv6 address for the interface and additional configuration
parameters:
obtains only the DNS parameters for the interface:
