IPv6 address and prefix acquisition configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 79, configure the switch to use DHCPv6 to obtain configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The parameters include IPv6 address, IPv6 prefix, DNS server address, domain name suffix, SIP server address, and SIP server domain name.
Figure 79: Network diagram
Configuration procedure
You must configure the DHCPv6 server before configuring the DHCPv6 client. For information about configuring the DHCPv6 server, see "Configuring the DHCPv6 server."
# Configure an IPv6 address for VLAN-interface 2 that is connected to the DHCPv6 server.
<Switch> system-view [Switch] interface vlan-interface 2 [Switch-Vlan-interface2] ipv6 address 1::2/48
# Configure VLAN-interface 2 as a DHCPv6 client for IPv6 address and prefix acquisition. Specify IDs for the dynamic IPv6 prefix and dynamic DHCPv6 option group, and configure the client to support rapid address and prefix assignment.

Verifying the configuration
# Verify that the DHCPv6 client has obtained an IPv6 address, an IPv6 prefix, and other configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server.
