Functional Notes
DHCPv6 is the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) version of DHCPv4 (which works with IPv4). In DHCPv4,
the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) protocol is used, in conjunction with a name in a directory path, to
specify which boot file should be used by requesting DHCP clients. In DHCPv6, however, a URL is used to
specify a file location and transfer protocol for the boot file used by DHCPv6 clients.
Usage Examples
The following example specifies the URL FTP://hostname/ftpshared/folder/filename1.ext for requesting
DHCPv6 clients:
(config)#ipv6 dhcp pool MyPool
(config-dhcpv6)#bootfile FTP://hostname/ftpshared/folder/filename1.ext
60000CRG0-35E
Specifies the transfer protocol, the location, and the name of the boot file to
be transferred to the DHCPv6 client. URLs are specified in a valid string of
up to 512 characters in the following format: protocol://path/filename.ext.
