Overview

A DHCPv6 server can assign IPv6 addresses or IPv6 prefixes to DHCPv6 clients.

850BIPv6 address assignment

As shown in 2891HFigure 370, the DHCPv6 server assigns IPv6 addresses, domain name, DNS server

addresses, and other configuration parameters to DHCPv6 clients.

The IPv6 addresses assigned to the clients fall into the following types:

• Temporary IPv6 addresses—Internally used and frequently changed without lease renewal.

• Non-temporary IPv6 addresses—Normally used by DHCP clients.
