Configure DHCPv6 Relay

Configure the IPv6 DHCP relay agent on any Layer 3 interface using the IPv6 address of the DHCP server where client requests are to be forwarded.

About this task

Layer 3 interfaces can be virtual Ethernet (VE) or physical interfaces. You can configure up to 16 relay destination addresses per interface.

Use the use-vrf vrf-name parameters if the DHCP server and client interface are on different Virtual Forwarding and Routing (VRF) instances. For more information, see theipv6 dhcp relay address command in the Extreme SLX-OS Command Reference.

1. Access global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure

2. Access interface configuration mode for the interface where you want to configure the relay.
   

   device# interface ethernet 1/17

3. Enter the IP address of the DHCP server followed by the interface number.
   

   device(config-if-eth-1/17# ipv6 dhcp relay address fe80::1016 interface ethernet 2/67
   

Example

This example configures a DHCPv6 relay address on a VE. The DHCP server and the client interface are on different VRF instances.

device# config
device(config)# interface ve 100
device(config-ve-100)# ipv6 dhcp relay address 2001::1122:AABB:CCDD:3344 use-vrf blue
