SYNOPSIS
dhcp6s
\%[-dDf]
\%[-n <DNS IPv6 address>]
\%[-c <configuration file>]
interface
DESCRIPTION
dhcp6s is an implementation of the DHCPv6 server.
dhcp6s provides IPv6 addresses and prefix assginment administrative policy and
configuration information for DHCPv6 clients. dhcp6s also manages those
addresses and prefixes, such as IPv6 addresses, prefixes, DNS server
addresses, or ntp server addresses.
OPTIONS
-c <configuration file> Specifies the configuration file for dhcp6s
-d Enables dhcp6s to print debug messages.
-D Enables dhcp6s to print verbose debug messages.
-f Enables dhcp6s to work as a foreground application. This option is helpful for debugging.
-n <dns servers> Allows dhcp6s to parse DNS server addresses from command line.
FILES
dhcp6s.conf Contains dhcp6s configurations, such as allow unicast, allow rapid-commit, specify valid-life-time, or specify preferred-life-time.
dhcp6s_duid Contains the dhcp6s server's DUID.
server6.leases Contains all dhcp6c clients' IPv6 address and prefix leasing information and states.
