DHCPv6 Relay—Reload Persistent Interface ID Option
The DHCPv6 Relay—Reload Persistent Interface ID Option feature makes the interface-ID option persistent. The interface ID option is used by relay agents to decide which interface should be used when forwarding a RELAY-REPLY packet. The interface ID DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6) option added to the DHCPv6 relayed message is formed by the interface name concatenated with the VLAN identifier when available. This way the value of the interface-ID option is persistent after a router reload.

Information About DHCPv6 Relay—Reload Persistent Interface ID Option
DHCPv6 Relay—Reload Persistent Interface ID Option Overview
The DHCPv6 Relay—Reload Persistent Interface ID Option feature makes the interface ID option persistent. The interface ID option is used by relay agents to decide which interface should be used when forwarding a RELAY-REPLY packet. A persistent interface ID option does not change if the device acting as a relay agent goes offline (such as during a reload or a power outage). When the device acting as a relay agent returns online, it is possible that changes to the internal interface index of the relay agent may have occurred in certain scenarios (such as cases where the relay agent reboots and has a change in the number of interfaces in the interface index, or the relay agent boots up and has more virtual interfaces than it did before the reboot). This feature prevents this scenario from causing any problems.
This feature changes the DHCPv6 interface ID option to be expressed as simply the short form of the interface name. This short form helps avoid potential problems that could arise due to physical or logical interfaces changing on the relay agent after a reload. No user configuration is required for this feature.
