NAME [Toc] [Back]
dhcpv6client_ui - DHCPv6 client interface for requesting configuration
parameters from the DHCPv6 server.
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -m interface_name [-n no_of_ip_addresses] [-o
config_options]
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -o config_options
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -m interface_name [-R]
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -r interface_name
/usr/bin/dhcpv6client_ui -v
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
dhcpv6client_ui is the interface through which a user contacts the
client daemon to obtain IP addresses and other configuration
parameters from the server. The default configuration parameters are
specified as command line options when the DHCPv6 client daemon is
invoked.
When dhcpv6client_ui requests for IP addresses or other configuration
parameters, the client daemon obtains them from the server and stores
in the /etc/dhcpv6client.data file.
dhcpv6client_ui is executed on the same machine on which the client
daemon is configured. Ensure that the client daemon is up and running
before dhcpv6client_ui is executed.
Options [Toc] [Back]
dhcpv6client_ui supports the following options:
-m interface_name Request the client daemon to obtain IP addresses
for the named interface, interface_name, from the
DHCPv6 server daemon.
-n no_of_ip_addresses
Specify the number of IP addresses for an
interface.
This option is always used with the -m option.
This option cannot be used with the -R option.
-o config_options Specify the other configuration parameters that
the client daemon must request from the server
daemon. The configuration parameters that the
client can request are listed below:

-r interface_name Release the IPv6 addresses assigned to the named
interface, interface_name.
-v Print the version information of the client
daemon.
