Configuring the DHCPv6 client

Introduction to the DHCPv6 client

Serving as a DHCPv6 client, the firewall only supports stateless DHCPv6 configuration, that is, the

firewall 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 firewall 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.

Configuration prerequisites

To make the DHCPv6 client obtain configuration parameters through stateless DHCPv6 configuration

successfully, make sure that the DHCPv6 server is available.

Configuration procedure

To configure the DHCPv6 client:

Step Command

the same interface at the same time.
