IPv6 address acquisition configuration example

As shown in Figure 81, configure the switch to use DHCPv6 to obtain configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The parameters include IPv6 address, DNS server address, domain name suffix, SIP server address, and SIP server domain name.

You must configure the DHCPv6 server first before configuring the DHCPv6 client. For information about configuring DHCPv6 server, see "Configuring the DHCPv6 server."

# Configure VLAN-interface 2 as a DHCPv6 client for IPv6 address acquisition. Configure the DHCPv6 client to support DHCPv6 rapid address assignment. Configure the DHCPv6 client to create a dynamic DHCPv6 option group for saving configuration parameters.
