        Parameter	Description
        Type	Type of a DHCPv6 PD prefix pool. Select Prefix for a DHCPv6 PD delegation prefix pool.
        Prefix	IPv6 prefix address/prefix length.
        Delegation Prefix Length	Address prefix length. The DHCPv6 PD client divides the prefix into subnet segments based on Delegation Prefix Length. The length of a prefix to be assigned must be longer than or equal to the length of Prefix.
        Lease Duration	Lease duration of the prefix bound to the IPv6 address pool. Use Unlimited or set a specific lease period.

      • (optional) Statically bind a DHCPv6 prefix to a DUID.

        1. Click Add in Static Prefix Binding. In the dialog box, click OK.

        2. Set the static prefix and DUID.
