Stateful DHCPv6
Status-dependent configuration in which the IPv6 address
and the configuration settings are transferred.
Four DHVPv6 messages are exchanged between client and
server:
1. SOLICIT:
Sent by the DHCPv6 client to localize DHCPv6 servers.
2. ADVERTISE
The available DHCPv6 servers reply to this.
3. REQUEST
The DHCPv6 client requests an IPv6 address and the
configuration settings from the DHCPv6 server.
4. REPLY
The DHCPv6 server sends the IPv6 address and the con-
figuration settings.
If the client and server support the function "Rapid commit"
the procedure is shortened to two DHCPv6 messages
SOLICIT and REPLY .
Stateless autoconfiguration
In stateless DHCPv6, only the configuration settings are
transferred.
Prefix delegation
The DHCPv6 server delegates the distribution of IPv6 prefix-
es to the DHCPv6 client. The DHCPv6 client is also known
as PD router.
