Configuring an Address-Assignment Pool for Use by DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation

This procedure shows how to configure IPv6 local address pools to allocate IPv6 prefixes for use by DHCPv6 prefix delegation.

You must configure separate pools for DHCPv6 prefix delegation, DHCPv6 IA_NA, and NDRA.

To configure the pool to be used for prefix delegation:

  1. Create a pool and assign a name to it.
    [edit access]user@host# edit address-assignment pool v6-prefix-pool-2001
  2. Under family inet6, add IPv6 prefixes to the pool.
    [edit access address-assignment pool v6-prefix-pool-2001]user@host# edit family inet6user@host# set prefix 2001:0000:0000:0000::/64
  3. Configure the name of the IPv6 prefix range, and define the range by setting a prefix length of 64.
    [edit access address-assignment pool v6-prefix-pool-2001 family inet6]user@host# edit range prefix-rangeuser@host# set prefix-length 64
