9.5 Setting the DHCPv6 Server Policy

Services Configuration
DHCPv6 is a networking protocol for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes or other configuration attributes
required on an IPv6 network.
DHCPv6 servers pass IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 clients. The DHCPv6 address assignment feature manages non-duplicate
addresses in the correct prefix based on the network where the host is connected. Assigned addresses can be from one or
multiple pools. Additional options, such as the default domain and DNS name-server address, can be passed back to the client.
Address pools can be assigned for use on a specific interface or on multiple interfaces, or the server can automatically find the
appropriate pool.
NOTE: DHCPv6 server updates are only implemented when the controller, service plat-
form or service platform is restarted.
