dhcpv6 relay destination

Function

The dhcpv6 relay destination command enables the DHCPv6 relay function on interfaces and configure the IPv6 address of the DHCPv6 server or next-hop relay agent.

The undo dhcpv6 relay destination command disables the DHCPv6 relay function on an interface.

By default, the DHCPv6 relay function is disabled on an interface.

Format

dhcpv6 relay destination ipv6-address

undo dhcpv6 relay destination ipv6-address

Parameters

Parameter

Description

Value

ipv6-address

Specifies the destination address of relay messages, which can be the IPv6 address of the DHCPv6 server or next hop relay agent.

The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.

Views

Ethernet interface view, Ethernet subinterface view, Eth-Trunk interface view, Eth-Trunk subinterface view, VLANIF interface view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When a client applies to a DHCPv6 server on a different network segment for an IPv6 address, you need to deploy a relay agent between the client and the DHCPv6 server. In this manner, the relay agent transmits DHCPv6 messages exchanged between the client and the DHCPv6 server.

You can use the dhcpv6 relay destination command to enable the DHCPv6 relay function on an interface.

Prerequisites

The DHCP function has been enabled using the dhcp enable command in the system view.

Precautions

The device supports a maximum of eight DHCPv6 servers or next-hop relays.

Example

# Enable the DHCPv6 relay function on GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and set the destination address of relay messages to fc00:1::1.
