Migrating from DHCPv6 1.001 to DHCPv6 2.002/.003

This chapter discusses steps to migrate from DHCPv6 1.001 to DHCPv6 2.002/.003 on

If you have configured your system as a server or client using DHCPv6 1.001, complete

the following steps to migrate from DHCPv6 1.001 to DHCPv6 2.002/.003 after installing

the DHCPv6 2.002/.003 software depot on your system:

1. If you have configured IPv6 addresses for an interface using DHCPv6 1.001, you

2. Move the tags address-pool, subnet-prefix, and reserved-addresses from the

DHCP_POOL_GROUP section to the DHCP_ADDRESS_POOL section in the

/etc/dhcpv6tab configuration file. You can specify multiple

DHCP_ADDRESS_POOL settings for a single DHCP_POOL_GROUP.
