The Network Port DHCPv6 Client Statistics page displays the DHCPv6 client statistics values for the network interface. The DHCPv6 client on the device exchanges several different types of UDP (User Datagram Protocol) messages with one or more network DHCPv6 servers during the process of acquiring address, prefix, or other relevant network configuration information from the server. The values indicate the various counts that have accumulated since they were last cleared.
