dhcpv6-server-policy

Creates a DHCPv6 server policy and enters its configuration mode

DHCPv6 is a networking protocol for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes, or other configuration attributes required on an IPv6 network.

DHCPv6 servers pass IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 clients. The DHCPv6 address assignment feature manages non-duplicate addresses in the correct prefix based on the network where the host is connected. Assigned addresses can be from one or multiple pools. Additional options, such as the default domain and DNS name-server address, can be passed back to the client. Address pools can be assigned for use on a specific interface or on multiple interfaces, or the server can automatically find the appropriate pool.

When configured and applied to a device, the DHCPv6 server policy enables the device to function as a stateless DHCPv6 server.

Supported in the following platforms:

• Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
• Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000
