Dhcpv6 Configuration - Huawei S9300 Configuration Manual

S9300&S9300E Terabit Routing Switch
Configuration Guide - IP Service
About This Chapter
Currently, the S9300&S9300E can function as only the DHCP relay agent on IPv6 networks.
This document describes how to configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
(DHCPv6) relay.
5.1 Introduction to DHCPv6
DHCPv6 is designed for IPv6 addressing and is used to allocate IPv6 addresses and other
network configuration parameters to hosts.
5.2 DHCPv6 Features Supported by the S9300&S9300E
Currently, the S9300&S9300E supports only the DHCPv6 relay function, and cannot function
as the DHCPv6 server or client.
5.3 Configuring DHCPv6 Relay
When the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server are on different links, you need to deploy
DHCPv6 relay agents between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server. In this manner, the
DHCPv6 relay agents transmit DHCPv6 messages exchanged between the DHCPv6 client and
the DHCPv6 server.
5.4 Maintaining DHCPv6
This section describes how to clear the statistics about DHCPv6 messages passing through the
DHCPv6 relay agent and monitor the running status of the DHCPv6 relay agent.
5.5 Configuration Examples
This section provides a configuration example of DHCPv6 relay.
