DHCPv6

DHCPv6 IA_NA

To enable/disable DHCPv6 IA_NA client on an interface:

 dhcp6 client <interface> [disable]

Binary API:

 /** \brief Enable/disable DHCPv6 client on interface
     @param client_index - opaque cookie to identify the sender
     @param context - sender context, to match reply w/ request
     @param sw_if_index - interface to enable/disable client on
     @param enable - 1 to enable, 0 to disable
 */

DHCPv6 prefix delegation

Control Plane

To enable/disable DHCPv6 prefix delegation client on an interface:

 dhcp6 pd client <interface> (prefix group <string> | disable)

To show the state of clients, prefixes and addresses:

 show ip6 pd clients
 show ip6 prefixes
 show ip6 addresses

To add/delete IPv6 address potentially using available prefix from specified prefix group:

 set ip6 address <interface> [prefix group <string>] <address> [del]

Binary API:

 /** \brief Enable/disable DHCPv6 PD client on interface
     @param client_index - opaque cookie to identify the sender
     @param context - sender context, to match reply w/ request
     @param sw_if_index - interface to enable/disable client on
     @param prefix_group - name of prefix group (relevant when 'enable' is 1)
     @param enable - 1 to enable, 0 to disable

     @param client_index - opaque cookie to identify the sender
     @param context - sender context, to match reply w/ request
     @param sw_if_index - software interface index of interface
                          to add/delete address to/from
     @param prefix_group - name of prefix group,
                           prefix_group[0] == '\0' means no prefix should be used
     @param address - address or suffix to be used with a prefix
                      from selected group
     @param prefix_length - subnet prefix for the address
     @param is_add - 1 for add, 0 for remove

Data Plane

Binary API:

Enable DHCPv6 client subsystem to receive UDP messages containing DHCPv6 client port: (This is to set the router to DHCPv6 client mode - so client subsystem gets the messages instead of DHCPv6 proxy subsystem)

 /** \brief Enable/disable listening on DHCPv6 client port
     @param client_index - opaque cookie to identify the sender
     @param context - sender context, to match reply w/ request

Send DHCPv6 messages to server:

     @param valid_time - valid lifetime
     @param preferred_time - preferred lifetime
