Description Răzvan Sandu 2015-02-28 11:09:24 UTC

Hello,

Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7-Beta/html/Networking_Guide/sec-dhcp_for_ipv6_dhcpv6.html

Section Number and Name: 

10.5. DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6)

Describe the issue: 

A very tiny example for configuring a DHCPv6 server is given, that not matches the IPv4 counterparts in sections 10.1 - 10.4.

Suggestions for improvement:

Please add a more extensive list of DHCPv6 options (apart of range6, dhcp6.name-servers and dhcp6.domain-search), matching those given for IPv4 (sections 10.1 - 10.4). For example, options for setting IP addreses based on MACs (hardware ethernet option), shared, groups, etc.

Please give more detailed examples of setting DHCPv6.

Please add a recommendation: when to use DHCPv6, as opposed to radvd?


Additional information: 

This may also solve RHEL 6.x bugs #995695 , #995693 ad is connected to bug #1197319


Thank you,
Răzvan
