Introduction to the DHCPv6 Client
Serving as a DHCPv6 client, the device only supports stateless DHCPv6 configuration, that is, the device
can only obtain other network configuration parameters, except the IPv6 address and prefix from the
DHCPv6 server.
With an IPv6 address obtained through stateless address autoconfiguration, the device automatically
enables the stateless DHCPv6 function after it receives an RA message with the M flag set to 0 and the
O flag set to 1.
