DHCPv6

Fundamentals

DHCPv6 clients listen on port 546, servers and relays listen on port 547

DHCPv6 clients and servers (relays) communicate via link-local multicast addresses
- All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers and All_DHCP_Servers multicast addresses are used

All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers : FF02:0:0:0:0:0:1:2(All-dhcp-agents)
IPv6 multicast MAC addresses : 33:33:00:01:00:02

DHCPv6 to DHCPv4 Message Comparison

SOLICIT (1)                           DHCPDISCOVER 
ADVERTISE (2)                         DHCPOFFER 
REQUEST (3), RENEW (5), REBIND (6)    DHCPREQUEST 
REPLY (7)                             DHCPACK / DHCPNAK

RELAY-REPLY (13)                      none

Client Identification

DHCPv6 DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier) as defined in RFC3315
- Link-layer address plus time - generated and stored at startup
- Link-layer - generally used if network interface is permanent or unchangeable
- Vendor assigned unique identifier based on enterprise identifier

DHCPv6 Type

Stateless DHCPv6

Two message exchange (INFORMATION-REQUEST, REPLY) between a DHCPv6 client and server

    Server  Client
       | <---- |  INFORMATION-REQUEST
       | ----> |  REPLY
       V       V

Stateful DHCPv6

Four message exchange (SOLICIT, ADVERTISE, REQUEST, REPLY)

Rapid Commit may be employed which uses only two message (SOLICIT, REPLY)

    Server  Client
       | <---- |  SOLICIT (Rapid Commit)
       | ----> |  ADVERTISE
       | <---- |  REQUEST
       | ----> |  REPLY (Rapid Commit)
       V       V
