Usage Guidelines
To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default | vlan}
global configuration command, and reload the switch.
The DHCPv6 server pings a pool address before assigning it to a requesting client. An unanswered ping
indicates that the address is not in use and the server assigns the address to the requesting client.
Setting the number argument to 0 turns off the DHCPv6 server ping operation.
Examples
This example specifies two ping attempts by the DHCPv6 server before further ping attempts stop:
