(Optional) Enabling the Device to Parse Option 37 of Any Format in DHCPv6 Solicit or Request Messages

The device can be enabled to parse Option 37 of any format in DHCPv6 Solicit or Request messages.

Context

In DHCPv6 scenarios, Layer 2 relay agents insert Option 37 to the relay header of Relay-forward messages. When the NetEngine 8000 F receives the Relay-forward messages, the NetEngine 8000 F can parse Option 37. However, if Layer 2 relay agents insert Option 37 to DHCPv6 Solicit or Request messages instead of the relay header of Relay-forward messages, the NetEngine 8000 F can parse Option 37 only if it is 10 or 16 bytes in length. In this case, configure the NetEngine 8000 F to parse Option 37 of any format in DHCPv6 Solicit or Request messages.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run dhcpv6 option-37 any-format decode enable

    The NetEngine 8000 F is enabled to parse Option 37 of any format in DHCPv6 Solicit or Request messages.

  3. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
