Dynamic IPv6 prefix assignment configuration example

As shown in Figure 96, the router acts as a DHCPv6 server to assign an IPv6 prefix, a DNS server address, a domain name, a SIP server address, and a SIP server name to each DHCPv6 client.

The router assigns prefix 2001:0410:0201::/48 to the client whose DUID is 00030001CA0006A40000, and assigns prefixes in the range of 2001:0410::/48 to 2001:0410:FFFF::/48 (excluding 2001:0410:0201::/48) to other clients. The DNS server address is 2::2:3. The DHCPv6 clients reside in the domain aaa.com. The SIP server address is 2:2::4, and the SIP server name is bbb.com.
