DHCPv6

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol v6 (DHCPv6) is a network management protocol that automates the assignment of IPv6 addresses and other communication parameters to devices on an IPv6 network. With the use of a client-server architecture, DHCPv6 streamlines network configuration and management.

You can configure the Gaia Operating System as follows:

• DHCPv6 Server - To assign IPv6 addresses to connected hosts.

• DHCPv6 Client (with or without Prefix Delegation) - To receive IPv6 address automatically on Gaia OS interfaces.
