DESCRIPTION¶
dhcp6relay
acts as an intermediary to deliver
DHCPv6 messages between clients and servers, and is on the same link as a
client.
dhcp6relay
needs command line
arguments
interface ..., which specifies the
list of links accommodating clients.
Options supported by
dhcp6relay
are:
-d
- Print debugging messages.
-D
- Even more debugging information is printed.
-f
- Foreground mode (useful when debugging). Although
dhcp6relay
usually prints warning,
debugging, or error messages to syslog(8), it
prints the messages to standard error if this option is specified.
-b
boundaddr
- Specifies the source address to relay packets to servers (or other
agents).
-H
hoplim
- Specifies the hop limit of DHCPv6 Solicit messages forwarded to
servers.
-r
relay-IF
- Specifies the interface on which messages to servers are sent. When
omitted, the same interface as interface
will be used. When multiple interface are
specified, this option cannot be omitted.
-s
serveraddr
- Specifies the DHCPv6 server address to relay packets to. If not specified,
packets are relayed to ff05::1:3 (All DHCPv6 servers).
-S
script-file
- Specifies the script file to be executed when
dhcp6relay
receives a RELAY-REPLY
message from a DHCPv6 server. Further detail of the script file syntax is
available in dhcp6c(8)
-p
pid-file
- Use pid-file to dump the process ID of
dhcp6relay
.
FILES¶
- /var/run/dhcp6relay.pid
- is the default file that contains pid of the currently running
dhcp6relay
.
