Configuring a DHCPv6 Server DUID

A DHCPv6 client uses a DHCP unique identifier (DUID) to identify the DHCPv6 server when the client communicates with the server.

Context

When the NetEngine 8000 F functions as a DHCPv6 server, its DUID must be configured.

When the NetEngine 8000 F functions as a DHCPv6 relay agent and encapsulates the Options 37 attribute to Relay-forward packets, its DUID must be configured.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run dhcpv6 duid { dhcpv6 duid | llt }

    A DUID is configured for the DHCPv6 server.

    When a DHCPv6 client interacts with a DHCPv6 server, each of the client and server is identified by a DUID. A DHCPv6 server identifies a DHCPv6 client with a client DUID and uses the client DUID in local address allocation; a DHCPv6 client identifies a DHCPv6 server with a server DUID.

  3. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
