DHCPv6 Address
Assignment Method
It specifies the assignment type of IPv6 address information by the DHCPv6 server.
⚫
Stateless: DHCPv6 stateless configuration. Clients obtain their IPv6 address through
Router Advertisement (Stateless Address Auto Configuration) and other parameters
are allocated by the DHCPv6 server.
⚫
Stateful: DHCPv6 stateful configuration. The DHCPv6 server automatically assigns
IPv6 addresses/prefixes and other network configuration parameters (e.g. DNS
server addresses, etc.) to clients. The user needs to manually configure the start ID
and the end ID.
