Usage Guidelines

Use Scenario

The dhcpv6 server group command is used on DHCPv6 relay agents. Generally, a DHCPv6 relay agent serves multiple DHCPv6 servers. You can run the dhcpv6 server group command to create a DHCPv6 server group to manage all the DHCPv6 servers that share the DHCPv6 relay agent. The DHCPv6 server group allocates IPv6 addresses and other network configuration information to users connected to the DHCPv6 relay agent.

Follow-up Procedure

After a DHCPv6 server group is configured, run the dhcpv6-server command to add DHCPv6 servers to the DHCPv6 server group.
When configuring IP address for DHCPv6 servers, run the dhcpv6 relay server-select command on an interface to select the DHCPv6 server group of the DHCPv6 relay agent.

Precautions

A maximum of 32 DHCPv6 server groups can be configured on the device. A maximum of 20 DHCPv6 servers can be added to a DHCPv6 server group.

Example

# Create a DHCPv6 server group named DHCPv6-srv1.
