Advertising Subnets Assigned To Clients; Applying A Dhcpv6 Address Pool To A Vpn Instance - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 Configuration Manual

Advertising subnets assigned to clients

This feature enables the route management module to advertise subnets assigned to DHCPv6
clients. This feature achieves symmetric routing for traffic of the same host.
As shown in
The BRAS devices send accounting packets to the RADIUS server. To enable the BRAS devices to
collect correct accounting information for each RADIUS user, configure the DHCPv6 server to
advertise subnets assigned to clients. The upstream and downstream traffic of a RADIUS user will
pass through the same BRAS device.
Figure 97 Network diagram
If the address pool is applied to a VPN instance, the VPN instance must exist.
To configure the subnet advertisement feature:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create an address pool and
enter its view.
3. Advertise the subnet assigned
to DHCPv6 clients.
Applying a DHCPv6 address pool to a VPN
instance
If a DHCPv6 address pool is applied to a VPN instance, the DHCPv6 server assigns IPv6 addresses
in this address pool to clients in the VPN instance. Addresses in this address pool will not be
assigned to clients on the public network.
The DHCPv6 server can obtain the VPN instance to which a DHCPv6 client belongs from the
following information:
•
The client's VPN information stored in authentication modules, such as IPoE.
•
The VPN information of the DHCPv6 server's interface that receives DHCPv6 packets from the
client.
Figure 97, Router A and Router B act as both the DHCPv6 server and the BRAS device.

N/A
By default, no DHCPv6 address
pools exist.
By default, the subnet assigned
to DHCPv6 clients is not
advertised.
