Configuring the DHCPv6 server on an interface

Enable the DHCP server and configure one of the following address/prefix assignment methods on an interface:

• Apply an address pool on the interface—The DHCPv6 server selects an IPv6 address/prefix from the applied address pool for a requesting client. If there is no assignable IPv6 address/prefix in the address pool, the DHCPv6 server cannot to assign an IPv6 address/prefix to a client.

• Configure global address assignment on the interface—The DHCPv6 server selects an IPv6 address/prefix in the global DHCPv6 address pool that matches the server interface address or the DHCPv6 relay agent address for a requesting client.

If you configure both methods on an interface, the DHCPv6 server uses the specified address pool for address assignment without performing global address assignment.
