 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      dhcpv6db2conf - DHCPv6 client database converter

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/bin/dhcpv6db2conf [-a | -c | -p] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-t]
      [lan_interfaces]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      dhcpv6db2conf provides a means of translating the DHCPv6 client
      database, /etc/dhcpv6client.data, into a set of standard configuration
      file variables. The client database consists of a series of records.
      Each record represents a unique lan interface and a list of
      attributes, which correspond to that interface. The attributes are
      configuration parameters like: host's IP address, NTP server address,
      address of the DHCPv6 server, NIS domain name etc for that interface.
      With dhcpv6db2conf, you can list the contents of the database to the
      screen, create a set of configuration staging files, or execute direct
      edits on existing configuration files using the values contained in
      the client database.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      dhcpv6db2conf allows you to specify a list of lan interfaces on the
      command line (e.g.  lan0 lan1...) whose data needs to be translated to
      a readable format. If no lan interface is specified, dhcpv6db2conf
      will process the entries of all interfaces which are UP. The
      attributes can be selected for processing by specifying a combination
      of one or more filter flags on the command line. If no filter flag is
      specified, all the attributes for that lan interface will be
      processed.

      The following options are supported:

      -a             Using the results of the specified filter, directly
                     apply the variable definitions to the existing
                     configuration files (for example,
                     /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6).

      -c             Create a set of staging files using the results of the
                     selected filter(s).  Each variable processed will be
                     applied to its corresponding staging configuration
                     file.  Specifically, dhcpv6db2conf will generate a copy
                     of the existing configuration file.  For example,
                     /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6 will be copied to
                     /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6.dhcpv6.  Once this
                     staging file has been created, the variable that is
                     being processed will be applied to this newly created
                     file.

      -d             Process the DNS variable set: [domain, nameserver ].

      -i             Process the INTERFACE variable set:
                     [IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME, IPV6_ADDRESS,
                     IPV6_PREFIXLEN, DHCPV6_ENABLE].

      -n             Process the NIS variable set: [NIS_DOMAIN, YPSET_ADDR].

      -p             Print results to the screen (stdout), this is the
                     default action if neither -c nor -a are specified.

      -t             Process the NTPDATE_SERVER variable.

      lan_interfaces lan interfaces such as lan0, lan1, etc.  whose data
                     needs to be translated to a readable format.  If not
                     specified, dhcpv6db2conf will process the entries of
                     all interfaces which are UP.

    Configuration Files and Variable Names    [Toc]    [Back]
      The following files and variables can be processed:

      /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6

                     IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME
                     IPV6_ADDRESS

                     NTPDATE_SERVER

      /etc/resolv.conf

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      To list the entire contents of the DHCP client database type:

           dhcpv6db2conf

      To list only the INTERFACE variable set for lan0 type:

           dhcpv6db2conf -i lan0

 WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]
      The NIS and NTP parameters are not IPv6-compatible.  Hence do not use
