Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

DHCPv6 Client Configuration Mode Commands

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Client Configuration Mode is used to create and manage DHCPv6 client parameters to support DHCPv6-based address assignment.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > DHCPv6 Service Configuration > DHCPv6 Client Configuration

configure > context context_name > dhcpv6-service service_name > dhcpv6-client

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[context_name]host_name(config-dhcpv6-client)#

Important

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

end

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

end

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to return to the Exec mode.

exit

Exits the current mode and returns to the parent configuration mode.

max-retransmissions

Configures the maximum number of times that the system attempts to communicate with an unresponsive DHCPv6 server before it is considered a failure.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > DHCPv6 Service Configuration > DHCPv6 Client Configuration

configure > context context_name > dhcpv6-service service_name > dhcpv6-client

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[context_name]host_name(config-dhcpv6-client)#

Syntax

max-retransmissions max_number 
default max-retransmissions

default

Returns the command to its default setting of 20.

`max_number`

Specifies the maximum number of re-attempts the system tries when no response is received from a DHCPv6 server. max_number is an integer from 1 through 20. Default: 20

Usage Guidelines

This command works in conjunction with the detect-dead-server DHCPv6 service command to set a limit to the number of communication failures that can occur with a configured DHCPv6 service.

When the value specified by this parameter is met, a failure is logged. The detect-dead-server DHCPv6 service parameter specifies the number of consecutive failures that could occur before the server is marked as down.

Example

The following command configures the maximum number of times the system re-attempts communication with a DHCPv6 server that is unresponsive to 5 :

max-retransmissions 5

server-dead-time

Configures the amount of time that the client attempts to communicate with an unresponsive DHCPv6 server. DHCPv6 server is considered to be dead if it doesn't respond after given tries from client.

Syntax

server-dead-time dead_time 
default server-dead-time

default

Returns the command to its default setting of 5.

`dead_time`

Specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the client attempts to communicate with an unresponsive DHCPv6 server.

dead_time must be an integer value from 1 through 1932100.

Default: 5

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the client attempts to communicate with an unresponsive DHCPv6 server.

This command works in conjunction with the max-retransmissions command to set a limit to the number of times that the system attempts to communicate with an unresponsive DHCPv6 server before it is considered a failure.

Example

The following command configures the client to continue trying to communicate with an unresponsive DHCPv6 server for no more than 10 seconds:

server-dead-time 10

server-ipv6-address

Configures DHCPv6 server(s) with which the DHCPv6 client is to communicate.

Syntax

server-ipv6-address ipv6_address [ port port_number ] [ priority priority ] [ -noconfirm ] 
no server-ipv6-address ipv6_address

no

Deletes a previously configured DHCPv6 server.

`ipv6_address`

Specifies the IP address of the DHCPv6 server expressed in IPv6 colon-separated-hexadecimal notation.

Default: FF02::1:2

port `port_number`

Specifies the port used for communicating with the DHCPv6 server.

port_number must be an integer from 1 through 65535. If unspecified, the default port is 547.

priority `priority`

Specifies the priority of the server if multiple servers are configured.

priority is an integer from 1 through 1000. 1 is the highest priority.

-noconfirm

Executes the command without prompting for further input from the user.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the DHCPv6 server(s) that the client is to communicate with. Multiple servers can be configured, each with their own priority.

Example

The following command configures a DHCPv6 server with an IP address of 1234:245:3456:4567:5678:6789:7890:8901 , a port of 300 , and a priority of 1 :

server-ipv6-address 1234:245:3456:4567:5678:6789:7890:8901 port 300 priority 1

server-resurrect-time

Configures the amount of time that a DHCPv6 client waits before considering a dead DHCPv6 server alive again.

default server-resurrect-time

default

Returns the command to its default setting of 20.

`revive_time`

Specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a DHCPv6 client waits before considering a dead DHCPv6 server alive again.

revive_time must be an integer value from 1 through 1932100.

Default: 20

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the amount of time that a DHCPv6 client waits before considering a dead DHCPv6 server alive again.

Example

The following command configures the client to wait 25 seconds before considering a dead DHCPv6 server alive again:

server-resurrect-time 25
