Viewing the DHCPv6-relay configuration

Syntax:

show ipv6 helper–address [vlan <vid>]

Displays the DHCPv6-relay configuration on all VLANs configured on the routing switch or on the VLAN you specify.

Display of unicast Helper address configured on VLAN 10 in Routing a unicast DHCPv6 request across a multiple-hop topology

Switch(config)# show ipv6 helper–address

 VLAN: 10

 IPv6 Helper Address                     Egress Vlan

1 Egress VLAN not used with unicast Helper addresses

Display of multicast Helper address configured on VLAN 10

Switch(config)# show ipv6 helper–address

 VLAN: 14

1 Egress VLAN required for multicast Helper addresses
NOTE:

Configuring a unicast IPv6 Helper address does not require the specification of an egress VLAN. However, an egress VLAN must be included when configuring a multicast Helper address.

Using the show ipv6 help–address vlan <vid> command displays the Helper address information for the specified VLAN in the same format as that shown above.

Syntax:

show run

Use this option to verify whether DHCPv6-relay is enabled on the routing switch. The output includes per-VLAN listings of any configured Helper addresses.
