NAME
dhcp6leased - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) client daemon
for IPv6 prefix delegation
SYNOPSIS
dhcp6leased [-dnv] [-f file] [-s socket]
DESCRIPTION
dhcp6leased is an IPv6 dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCPv6)
daemon for clients. It requests IPv6 prefix delegations from DHCPv6
servers for assignment to downstream interfaces.
DHCPv6 clients are identified by DHCPv6 Unique Identifiers (DUID).
dhcp6leased uses a DUID based on a random Universally Unique Identifier
(UUID). The DUID is stored in /var/db/dhcp6leased/uuid. If the file
does not exist or the UUID is not readable a new UUID is generated.
A running dhcp6leased can be controlled with the dhcp6leasectl(8)
utility.
The options are as follows:
-d Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, dhcp6leased will
run in the foreground and log to stderr.
-f file
Specify an alternative configuration file.
-n Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
-s socket
Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
-v Produce more verbose output. Multiple -v options increase the
verbosity.
FILES
/dev/dhcp6leased.sock UNIX-domain socket used for communication with
dhcp6leasectl(8).
/etc/dhcp6leased.conf Default dhcp6leased configuration file.
/var/db/dhcp6leased/<if> Interface specific lease files.
/var/db/dhcp6leased/uuid DUID to identify this client.
