NAME
       dhcpv6db2conf - DHCPv6 client database converter

SYNOPSIS
       [lan_interfaces]

DESCRIPTION
       provides	 a means of translating the DHCPv6 client database, into a set
       of standard configuration file variables.  The client database consists
       of  a series of records.	 Each record represents a unique lan interface
       and a list of attributes, which	correspond  to	that  interface.   The
       attributes  are	configuration  parameters like: host's IP address, NTP
       server address, address of the DHCPv6 server, NIS domain name  etc  for
       that  interface.	 With you can list the contents of the database to the
       screen, create a set of configuration staging files, or execute	direct
       edits on existing configuration files using the values contained in the
       client database.

   Options
       allows you to specify a list of lan  interfaces	on  the	 command  line
       (e.g.   whose  data needs to be translated to a readable format.	 If no
       lan interface is specified, will process the entries of all  interfaces
       which  are UP.  The attributes can be selected for processing by speci‐
       fying a combination of one or more filter flags on  the	command	 line.
       If  no filter flag is specified, all the attributes for that lan inter‐
       face will be processed.

       The following options are supported:

       Using the results of the specified filter, directly apply the variable
		      definitions to the  existing  configuration  files  (for
		      example,

       Create  a  set  of staging files using the results of the selected fil‐
       ter(s).
		      Each variable processed will be applied  to  its	corre‐
		      sponding staging configuration file.

		      Specifically,  will generate a copy of the existing con‐
		      figuration file.	For example, will be  copied  to  Once
		      this staging file has been created, the variable that is
		      being processed will be applied to  this	newly  created
		      file.

       Print  results  to  the	screen (stdout), this is the default action if
       neither
		      nor are specified.

       Process the    INTERFACE variable  set  [IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME,
		      IPV6_ADDRESS, IPV6_PREFIXLEN, DHCPV6_ENABLE].

       Process the DNS variable set
		      [domain, nameserver].

       Process the SIP server address and SIP domain name information.

       Process the NIS variable set
		      [NIS_DOMAIN, YPSET_ADDR].

       Process the vendor specific information.

       Print the DHCPv6 server address.

       lan_interfaces lan interfaces such as whose data needs to be translated
		      to a readable format.  If not  specified,	 will  process
		      the entries of all interfaces which are UP.

   Configuration Files and Variable Names
       The following files and variables can be processed:

					    IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME
			     IPV6_ADDRESS
			     IPV6_PREFIXLEN
			     DHCPV6_ENABLE

					    NIS_DOMAIN
			     YPSET_ADDR

					    domain / search
			     nameserver
