Rapid assignment involving two messages
Figure 60: Rapid assignment involving two messages
As shown in Figure 60, the rapid assignment involving two messages operates in the following steps.
The DHCPv6 client sends out a Solicit message that contains a Rapid Commit option, requesting that rapid assignment of address/prefix and other configuration parameters should be preferred.
If the DHCPv6 server supports rapid assignment, it responds with a Reply message containing the assigned IPv6 address/prefix and other configuration parameters. If the DHCPv6 server does not support rapid assignment, Assignment involving four messages is implemented.
