Chapter 19: DHCPv6 commands

configure interface ipv6 dhcp client

Use this command to enable DHCPv6 client on the specified interface.
The current implementation can enable the client on only one interface at any time.
Syntax
[no] ipv6 dhcp client pd <pdname> [rapid-commit]
Table 162: Variable definitions
<pdname>
[rapid-commit]
Command Line Reference
Variable Value
The general prefix name that has to be
associated with the prefix(es) obtained by
this DHCPv6 client.
Enables the client to use the rapid-commit
option feature provided by the protocol.
When the rapid-commit is enabled, the client
will use the SOLICIT-REPLY message
exchange to get the prefix information. In
other words, the client would send the
SOLICIT message with rapid-commit
enabled. If the server is configured to accept
the rapid-commit option from the client, it
would send a REPLY packet with all the
prefix information back to client. With these
two messages, the DHCPv6 protocol
operation will be complete. If the rapid-
commit is not enabled by client or if the
server is not accepting the rapid-commit, the
server will send an ADVERTISE message as
a reply to the SOLICIT message (rather than
a REPLY message). The client will receive
the ADVERTISE message and it would send
a REQUEST message to server. The server
will then reply with a REPLY message along
with prefix information. In this non rapid-
commit mode, FOUR messages are needed
in the message exchange.
