RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
