SYNOPSIS
config_options] number] list_of_user_classes] list_of_vendor_classes]
DESCRIPTION
obtains the configuration parameters from the Dynamic Host Configura‐
tion Protocol (DHCPv6) server to configure the host. See dhcpv6d(1M).
Options
supports the following 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:
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.
Obtain the domain search list that the client must use while
resolving hostnames
using DNS.
Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses that indicate SIP outbound
proxy servers
available to the client.
Obtain the domain names of the SIP outbound proxy servers that
the client
can use.
Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS servers
available to the client.
Obtain the NIS domain name of the client.
Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses of one or more NIS+ servers
available to the client.
Obtain the NIS+ domain name of the client.
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.
Enables
to log all messages to the file, including information and warn‐
ing messages.
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 options can be used to specify
multiple values for the User-Class data. Depending on the
classes identified by this option, the server selects configura‐
tion information for the client. The User-Class option is used
to identify the type or category of the client.
Specify the vendor-class data to be used in the client's communication
with a server. The vendor-class data contains a series of dis‐
tinct items, each of which describes the characteristics of the
client's hardware configuration.
Configuration
The file is used for the configuration of the interfaces. To invoke
using the script, set the variable to a non-zero value in the file. The
script invokes and during bootup to obtain IP addresses. can also be
invoked at the command prompt.
Once has obtained the configuration parameters from the server, it
stores them in a configuration file named The configuration parameters
are valid for a fixed time, the lease time. The automatically tries to
renew the configuration parameters before the expiration of the lease
time. If the server responds, the lease times of the configuration
parameters are automatically extended.
